If the back of your chair squeaks when you lean back on it, remove the seat tension turn-knob of your chair and apply lubrication to the seat tension spring inside. If the chair wheels squeak, turn the chair back over and spray the lubricating agent on each wheel.

For most office chairs, a silicon-based lubricant like WD-40 is the best choice to fix a common squeaky noise. If you have a wooden office chair, it is recommended to use beeswax so as to not damage the wood. If parts of your chair are rusty, look into using a heavier-duty penetrating oil.

Grease the mechanisms. Apply a lubricating oil on all of the nuts, screws and bolts to help loosen the joints. Simply spray oil directly on the the chair mechanisms, and pat them dry. You can also spray oil on a soft cotton cloth, and rub the oil onto your problem areas to have more control over where the oil goes.

Use a Moly EP type Wheel Bearing Grease. Use of oil, silicon lubricants, or spray lubricants such as WD- 40 is not recommended.

Use a lubricating oil, like WD40, to grease up all of the screws and bolts so they aren’t causing a squeaking noise by being too stiff.

Myth: WD-40 Multi-Use Product is not really a lubricant. Fact: While the “W-D” in WD-40 stands for Water Displacement, WD-40 Multi-Use Product is a unique, special blend of lubricants.

As we mentioned before, the reason why your office chair is squeaking may be due to a rusty spring, wheel, screw, or bolt. If you tend to use your chair for extended periods, to fix a squeaky chair, try to check your chair for rust from time to time. If there’s rust, clean it with oil or lubricant.

Silicone spray lubricant lubricates metals that fasten together and move, including cables, bearings, springs, hinges, hoses, latches and much more. Silicone sprays are an effective way of lubricating metals from friction.

Apply a small amount of silicone lubricant to a paper towel and rub the towel on any of the springs that are making noise. Compress the springs by pressing on the seat after each application to see if the sounds have been eliminated.
