Substitute needed for graphite powder in door hinges

moist zombie wipes or paper towels

Bacon grease, or if you’ve got it, bear fat, will work as well.

Once you take the pins out, soapy pipe-cleaners can be used to swab graphite and other gunk out of the hinge.

Skunk Grease

It does double duty if you suffer from pleurisy.

Put the door hinge under extremely heat and pressure until the graphite forms diamonds. Then remove them. The simplest way is to remove the hinge pin and use compressed air and a cloth or small brush to clean the hinge, followed by the application of a light coat of paraffin or candle wax.

Thanks, Tripolar, too bad about the diamonds but the simplest way if probably going to do the trick.

If I have bacon grease or bear fat in the house, I’m not going to waste it on a stupid door. The only hinge I’m lubricating with those is the one in my jaw.

My mother always used Crisco. I guess that’s what she had on hand. I always use lithium grease.
