The main door hinges on our 2021 Swift Elegance creak badly. Any solutions please, the noise in the night is seriously awful.

I thought of WD40 but it’s a cleaner not a lubricant and is not supposed to be used on plastic. It can also attract dirt. Other common lubricants like 3 in 1 and Vaseline also attract dirt.

Some guidance would be appreciated please.

Thanks.

What about PTFE silicone spray?

I use the silicone spray I bought for the toilet cassette seal. Works very well on our MH bathroom door which develops a creak occasionally. Does not stain or damage the door material if you overspray.
