Whenever I open or close the drawers in my dresser, it gives off this horrible squeak. Is there some kind or lubricant or solution that can be used to prevent this?
Thanks in advance!

Paste wax or candle wax on drawer slides
Dave
Find where they're rubbing (should be fairly obvious sign like a slight wear or scratch or finish dust or ...) and use a coat of paste wax.
Depending on the spot and why, you may be able to relieve the binding but any specific suggestion would rely on knowing at least some details...
Wow...funny - I was going to post the same question today. This can be quite a problem with any 'cargo' furniture. I am going to try the wax. Thanks-

OK, I'll bite...what's "cargo" furniture?
K-Y
Ivory bar soap (white)...
Wax or paraffin, a candle will do.
Thank you all for the advice. Yes it is wood-on-wood. I also was wondering how long it would take someone to suggest K-Y. :)
I haven't had time to fix it yet but I'll try some of the easy stuff first (soap or candle wax) since I have that at home.
Thanks again! Dave
Try Baby Powder, John
If the baby powder doesn't work, try a paste furniture wax, like Minwax.

Talcum powder works well . Also good for creaking floorboards and stai treads
