How to Fix Office Chair Creak

Kneel down on the floor next to your chair and move it around. Try to isolate the source of the creak. Creaks and squeaks are often caused by the swivel mechanism around the wheel base, the side and the back of the chair.

Apply a small amount of spray lubricant to the part of the chair that is making the noise. Using a spray lubricant with a fine-tip nozzle will make it easier to get the lubrication where you want it.

Wipe away any excess lubricant with a soft cloth. This will prevent the lubricant from staining the chair. Move the chair back and forth to work the lubricant into the mechanism. Allow the lubricant to sit for a few minutes, then test the chair for creaks.

Apply another coating of lubricant if the chair still makes noise. Apply additional lubricant to the surrounding joints as well ifi the noise is still present.
