I was going to have to pay thousands to have my continuous, laminate floors redone because of the squeaking. A couple of $12 bottles of bike chain wax have made my floors silent. Can’t believe the fix was this easy.

This worked wonderfully well on my 12mm thick laminate flooring. I had some problem spots between planks that would creak when walked over, and this solution completely quieted those areas in seconds. I used Finish Line Ceramic Wax Bicycle Chain Lube in particular, so I can recommend that product. This is a must try if you have this problem.

incredible and such an easy looking fix. I wondered if the liquid form of this wax is an issue to the laminate composite as it soaks in? liquid and laminate are not compatible ?

Hello There, Its 1 year old home and we just finished basement with no access to basement ceiling. We observed floor sweaks on vynl floor, does this option work on Vynl floor too? Any recommendations on what products to buy?

[raphaellovett]

I will try this. My laminate flooring creaks a lot which I believe is due to the flooring being lad on uneven particle board. I wonder if there is a way to fill under the board without redoing them?

I’m a huge fan of the channel, I’m wondering what’s a better option between sonopan with quietrock530 or quietrock545 for bedroom walls. They both end up to be 1-3/8”
Thx! Keep up the great work.

Thank you for this video. I have found the tips really helpful. What is the name of the specific bicycle chain wax you have here in this video?

[relaxingmusic]

I have about 700sq of laminate that creaks. Would putting this in every crack be too much? Would it be impossible to replace the floors with all that wax in between?

[obliviousrally]

does this work with old style laminate floor?

[Garris_Shrike]

Would this work for real wooden laminate/floating floor?

Tried reading through comments. Could not find the name of the wax suggested. Could anyone provide the info please. Thank you in advance.

I am confused. The bottle you are holding up appears to be WD-40 Wet Chain Lubricant, which the manufacturer says does not contain wax (and might also stay a liquid?). WD-40 dry chain lube also contains no wax. Another YouTube video recommends Finish Line Wax Bike Lubricant (black bottle) but I am finding that hard to source locally. Stores here do sell Finish Line Dry Lubricant, which goes on similarly but does use a synthetic oil (with Teflon). I can also easily get Finish Line Ceramic Wax Chain Lube and White Lightning Clean Ride MTB Wax Lube. Which of the products I named do you think would work well?

Which video should I watch for squeaky engineered hardwood floors?

[Joshoptimus]

I have a question about the safety of the bicycle lube wax. Do you know if it's safe around children and pets?

[swingtraitor]

If the squeak is coming from underneath the vinyl board piece, (wd-40 in the seam has zero effect), will the vinyl laminate floor need to come up?

[baysidelad]

I've found that WD-40 works well on my floating floorboards (that have been laid on a concrete slab, and can't be accessed from underneath)

Mine don't squeak. They have like a cracking sound like I am walking on cardboard. I hate it. It sounds cheap.

[thiagolbf]

Finish nails works good? Or bad idea since the laminate needs to expand

[theeyewearstore]

What do you recommend if the seams aren't large enough to put the wax between two laminate floor pieces (as in the laminate floors are too close together)?

[JavierMartinez-irsj]

wd-40 for wet chains is oil, do you recommend this lubricant? thank you
