Watched a guy at a job site in Austin show me a trick with a baking soda paste on a rusted dishwasher rail
I was swapping out a drain pump on a Whirlpool last Tuesday at a condo complex off Lamar, and this older tech just walked over and started scrubbing the rusted wheel tracks with baking soda and a little water. He said it keeps the slides from sticking without using WD-40 which can gum up over time. I tried it on a few more jobs since then and it actually works better than anything I've used... anyone else have a weird non-spray fix they swear by?

Yo that baking soda trick is genius, I gotta try that. I've been using a little bar soap on sticky drawer slides for a while now, just rub it on dry and it works way better than any spray I've tried.

Bar soap on drawer slides, huh? That's wild. I tried chapstick on a sticky zipper once and it just made everything worse, so I'm probably not qualified to give slide advice anyway. Might have to test the soap trick on my kitchen cabinets though, they've been arguing with me every morning. Baking soda guy would probably roll his eyes at both of us.
