Finally got a stubborn, 80-year-old pocket door to slide smooth after three hours of trying every trick I knew.

Oh man, I feel that. Those old pocket doors are a special kind of battle. Sometimes you gotta get creative beyond just cleaning the track. I've had luck using a bar of soap on the wooden runners for lubrication. A little candle wax works too. It's all about finding what that specific old piece of wood wants.

Honestly, I've found wax just gums it up worse.
