From Squeaky Stair Repair, Step 5: Apply Lubricant or Powder
For a simple 'from above' fix, sprinkle a generous amount of baby powder, talcum powder, or dried graphite directly into the crevices and grooves of the squeaky wood floorboards. The powder acts as a lubricant, reducing friction between the moving floorboards. Place a paper towel over the powdered area and walk or stomp on it. This action helps to work the powder down into the cracks where the squeak originates.
