This little trick might help if you have a sticky closet rod: Grab a sheet of waxed paper, and rub it over the top of the rod. Your hangers should glide more easily. There’s no mess, and you can do it section by section without even removing all the clothes from the closet!

Sticky Drawers
If you have drawers that stick when you try to pull them out, or maybe drawers that don’t like to go back in without a fight, try this tip: Take an ordinary candle and run it along the drawer’s rails. This will provide some lubrication to keep drawers gliding in and out smoothly, without having to use messy, drippy oil. You also can use a bar of soap if you don’t have a spare candle.
