What Customers Say
“I had a problem with a dresser where the drawers were sticking and difficult to open and close. I tried everything from soap to candle wax, but nothing worked. The application was straightforward, and within seconds the drawers were sliding smoothly. It was like having a brand new dresser!”

Our Story
We are Doug and Jesse, the furniture restorers behind Glideator. After years working with upcycled furniture, sticking wooden drawers kept coming up. We developed Glideator to help reduce that friction and make drawers easier to use.
Common Questions
How do I apply Glideator to wooden drawer slides?
Apply enough Glideator to thoroughly cover the slides or contact surfaces, then slide the drawer back and forth a few times to distribute it. No tools and no disassembly needed. Read the product label before use.
Can it help with squeaking furniture?
Yes, if the squeak comes from wood rubbing on wood. Apply enough Glideator to thoroughly cover the contact surfaces of the joint and work it back and forth. Squeaks from loose joints, broken parts, or misalignment may need a repair rather than lubrication.
Will it stain my furniture?
We use Glideator on finished and unfinished furniture in our store every day. It goes on clean without staining. For antiques or valuable pieces, test it in a hidden area first.
How much do I need?
Apply enough Glideator to thoroughly cover the contact surfaces, then work the drawer or joint back and forth. Add more as needed until it moves smoothly.
What is the difference between 4 oz and 8 oz?
Only the jar size. The formula is identical. Choose 4 oz for smaller projects or occasional use, and 8 oz for larger projects or frequent use.
What is in Glideator?
The exact formula is proprietary. It is made from USP grade components, and per its safety data sheet it is a mixture of nonhazardous ingredients, not classified as hazardous under GHS or OSHA. Safety Data Sheet (PDF)
