How to prepare your Christmas tree with 3-IN-ONE
Assembling your Christmas tree is easy when you have 3-IN-ONE Drip Oil! That’s not all either, Drip Oil can be on standby from the moment you get your decorations out of the loft.
- Loft hinges
Need to get your decorations out of the loft? Grab your Drip Oil. A drop-down hatch may have never seen lubrication, so apply a couple of drops of Drip Oil onto the hinge so it doesn’t wake the entire house.
- Safety ladders
Extending the ladders slowly to stop the racket – we’ve all been there. Apply a small amount of Drip Oil onto the ladder’s hinges, pivot points and locking arms to prevent them from creaking when you’re doing multiple decoration trips.
- Storage boxes
Your boxes are now out of the attic but the lids or clasps are sticking. A small amount of Drip Oil will loosen them so you can get to everything you need.
- Castor wheels on furnishings
When moving furniture to make way for the tree, see to your castor wheels first because a little lubrication will help them glide instead of scrape across your floors.
- Christmas trees
We got a bit ahead of ourselves – you know how to put the Christmas tree joints together now but rotating Christmas tree stands can also do with a quick touch of Drip Oil. Apply a small amount onto the central spindle and any exposed pivot or bearing to keep it turning.
- Drawers and sliding cupboards
Need to get the tape and scissors for some last-minute wrapping? Use Drip Oil on drawer runners or cupboard tracks so there aren’t any last-minute jams.
- Scissor blades
After wrapping, place a drop of Drip Oil onto a clean cloth and wipe it across the scissor blades to get rid of any tackiness so they’re ready for next time you need them.
- Door hinges
Before your guests arrive, quickly apply a drop of Drip Oil on squeaky door hinges so you’re not cringing at the sound of the toilet door every time it’s in use.
And just like that – you Christmas tree is up, your home is maintained and you’re ready for the festivities! Remember to keep your handy 3-IN-ONE cans close by; it’s the perfect Christmas helper.
