Hi,
Does anyone know what household grease is and where I can buy it?
I've recently fitted a corded curtain track and the instructions say
lubricate with household grease.

Regards,
Martin.

Vasaline?

Does anyone know what household grease is
I think I once saw it called that in the USA and searching there
confirms it *may* be white, lithium grease.
and where I can buy it?
If so, Halfords among others:

(On the very rare occasions I clean curtain tracks I just finish off
with a silicone polish - eg Pledge. But I know nothing.)

What is the track made of?

If plastic I would agree with Robin and use a silicone based polish. It
won't stain the cords as much as a grease.

For such things I use a silicon spray lubricant. Pledge works equally
well and I think contains silicon.

I does, but not as much as a silicone srpay.

White Lithium Grease? Bit OTT for a curtain track I would have thought?

You don't want anything that stays wet as it will soon be sticky dust
trap.

I find that rubbing the top edge of the curtain track with an ordinary
candle works well.

quite, I'd give grease a miss. Not only will it get dirty, but the mix
of grease and dirt will cause more friction than having nothing up
there.

You don't really want anything with a meaningful solids content. IIRC
Pledge does build up slightly on wooden surfaces and candle wax will get
sticky in hot weather. Mr.Sheen is your man

Furniture wax - lightly applied and polished off.
