Ask the Old Farmer: I have a queen-size bed
with a box spring and mattress Trie minute you
gel on it, it squeaks terribly What can 1 do to
correct this 7 EF, Milford, N H
The squeaking is due to wood rubbing on wood
Remove the spring and mattress Rub any areas of
wood that might move enough to squeak with a take
of paraffin or stub of a candle or you lould use paste
wax instead
