Shower Curtain Hooks

I have both hooks and shower rod in a satin nickel finish and hooks do not slide smoothly on the rod. Is there something I can put on the rod to help?

I had these shower hooks Bed Bath and Beyond (I think they just brushed nickel ... is this the same satin nickel? Anyway, I'm sure you could find the match somewhere) that have little roller ball on top that help rings / curtain glides very smoothly. Previously, I used regular hooks and they were always getting caught and falling. It was a pain until I found these I was thrilled. Look in the shower curtain aisle of any store in the house, most places have now. If you have already encountered these problems, sorry, I'm working on the assumption that you have regular hooks. Good luck.

The problem is that the satin finish is abrasive.

The best remedy in this case is either to replace the rings, or drop them and polish the surface of the ring when he slipped on the metal rod with a high speed drill and wire brush.

Lubricants attract dust and quickly become unsightly, also requiring a new application due to the constant humid environment, so this is not a path I recommend.

easiest, least expensive and longest lasting remedy? Go to local home improvement store and buy the steel wool. There are several grades available, but you want # 0000 or # 000. The first time I use to finish glass and chrome. It will not scratch anything and cleans perfectly smooth. Get $ 1.50 and rub the rod down. Slick without greasy residue, to replace something or lose a lot of time

Spray Polish works - not sure where you came from, but here in the United Kingdom, we pledge and other brands that work a treat. WD40 would I feel after a while cause dirt on the shaft - which makes it even worse.

Try my first idea - that we use on our commitment curtain rods and they glide like ... well something that glides well erred. Sorry it was difficult to put my point on.

You can try to Teflon or silicone spray. Spray it on a rag and wipe the rod with the cloth to prevent dirt and drops. You'd probably have to apply it often enough, but it's worth trying.

Durex Play lubricants obtain and rub it on !!!!! its water based so easy to wash if you want too, you can also use it for other thig too !!!!!

WD40 my dear Watson just spray with WD40
