Are you tired of hearing your rocking chair squeak every time you sit down and lean back? A squeaky chair can become an annoyance, but what can you do about it?

Over time the natural aging process occurs and wood furniture becomes less sturdy. The swelling and contracting that happens in the wood cause the joints to loosen and this is where the squeaking sound comes from. However, there is a quick fix that can ease your ears.

Purchase a wood-swelling solvent at your local hardware store and apply it to the chair’s joints. The solvent will make the joints expand and become secure again. You’re basically bonding the joints back together.

While you’re at it, it’s also a good idea to wax your wood furniture on an annual basis to prevent the wood from drying out.
