Curtain rail sticking

[Chris Hogg]

+1 Silicone spray is by far the best solution for curtain tracks that are dragging .

I agree *completely*, but WD40 on a cloth also works. If there are obvious dirty deposits, it's worth cleaning them off that way.

Or silicon based spray furniture polish.

I'm sure he's waited the 7 years for your advice. Looks like you need a sensible newsgroup client or portal.

Clean the curtain track thoroughly then apply Vaseline.

[newshound]

Hell no, it will rapidly collect dust and dirt. Wipe with a rag soaked in silicone spray.

And try to wash the runners. Mr Sheen is better than nothing.Definatly not Vaseline - it will work ok and then get worse than ever.

This works exceptionally well.

That's where I went wrong. I just sprayed the rail with silicone spray, then skidded on the floor and went over. :)

Would that'trick' work for 11 years?

Depends what its made of, Sometimes the plastic ones generate static and the muck just flies onto it. There is an anti static polish which used to be good but as with everything if you live in a dusty world it will still stick. Brian
