The tongues and grooves of the narrow boards do not always fit together exactly tight, and a little pressure on either side of the crack and between joints, where the boards are nailed, will cause the boards to spring slightly, causing the disagreeable squeaking sounds.
The best remedy for a squeaky floor is to apply a little liquid glue to the cracks. This can be done by dipping a thin strip of metal in the glue and inserting carefully in the crack at the point from which the sound comes. A knife blade can be used to apply the glue. Simply dip the point in the glue and insert in the crack. Move the blade about slightly to remove the glue and make it stick to the flooring, where it will dry in a short time and stop the squeaking.
Household Hints
A discarded wire bonnet frame can be bent to any desired shape and fitted in the mouth of a jardiniere or wide vase, forming just the support that certain long-stemmed flowers need to keep them in graceful positions.
