I've sliding doors in the bathroom. The track was dirty with water stain and dust and so I made the stupid mistake of cleaning it with anti mold spray that has sodium hydroxide in it. The strong cleaner messed up the lubrication and the door started getting jammed.
I applied some WD40 spray but that made things even worse since the small plastic wheels started sliding now instead of rolling in the tracks. What's a good old sticky grease to apply to the wheels to fix the mess?
Thank you!
Hi @farhanhubble,
Kincrome 500g Multipurpose Grease could be used to lubricate wheel bearings. Typically, wheels have sealed bearings, but your wheels might not have bearings due to the wet environment. You might be better off wiping the WD40 off the track and then using a silicone spray applied sparingly to the wheel axle. You could also remove the wheels and add a tiny amount of grease to their axle.
Be aware that shower panels can shatter exceptionally easily if tapped with a hard object. When working around them, ensure you're wearing safety glasses, cut-resistant gloves, a long-sleeved shirt, trousers, and enclosed footwear. If you are not confident in lubricating the wheels, I recommend enlisting the services of a professional.
Please let me know if you have any questions.
Mitchell
