Step 3 apply baby powder.
How to get baby powder out of wood floors.
My daughter spilled ok more like dumped baby powder all over her room.
Walk over the squeaky section to distribute the powder evenly and if it works the squeaking should stop.
Watch this video to find out more.
If that doesn t stop the noise locate the squeaky floorboard from below and look for movement as someone walks on the floor above.
Force the powder into the seams using paper towel and a push of a finger.
The hand vac doesn t work either it s too fine for the filter to catch it.
Not surprising it drifts throughout the house leaving a dusting of powder over everything.
Apply a good amount of baby powder between the boards causing the squeaks.
My kids dumped an entire bottle of baby powder over my living room floor.
This will lubricate the wood and should keep the floorboards from rubbing together and squeaking.
While it smells pretty now the sight does not look that way.
Spread the powder liberally then force it into the cracks between boards with a broom or a dry mop.
I use baby powder after my daily shower and to cool down in between on hot days.
Make sure that it enters the seams entirely.
Walk on the floorboards a couple of times as well until it gets through.
I have vaccuumed swept and swiffered at least 3 times and there is still a residue on the floor.
I smelled baby powder in the living room i knew it wouldn t be good.
Sprinkle baby powder baking soda or powdered graphite over the squeaky floorboard and work it into the seams.
I decided to videotape the incident for the police and the insurance company.
Maybe someone with experience can help.
I m at a loss.
To stop a wood floor from squeaking try sprinkling baby powder on the squeaking boards.
I always vacuum the flooring first but no matter what cleaner i use to mop my flooring with there is always a residue left from the baby powder.
This isn t a permanent solution the boards will eventually begin squeaking again and you ll have to apply more powder.
