What is a substitute for sewing machine lubricant?
There is no substitute for a good quality sewing machine oil. One of the biggest causes of problems with sewing machines is that oil has been used that turns to gum or even a varnish like film with age. Sewing machine oil is a white mineral oil, meaning it is clear and has no smell. The oil has a light viscosity and will not collect on the machine's gears. It is usually marketed as machine or sewing machine oil. Cooking oil, car oil, and 3-in-one oil should not be used as substitutes.

How do you oil a paper shredder?
There are a couple of ways that you can oil a paper shredder. The easiest way is to put shredder oil on a sheet of paper and run it through the shredder. Run it forward. After the paper has made it all the way through, run it backwards. This will ensure all the shredder blades get coated. I recommend oiling your shredder after every time you empty it. If you have visible access to the shredder's blades, you can squirt oil directly into the blades and run the shredder in reverse for about 15-30 seconds. Be sure to go from the far left to the far right, covering everything.
