How to stop a wall clock from ticking so loud.

Spray the gears on the inside of the clock once or twice with the clock oil. Set the clock on the paper towel with the face of the clock pointing up for 30 minutes so that any dripping oil will be caught by the paper towel. The ticking should be gone or at the very least quieter. The easiest way to quiet a loud ticking clock once and for all is to add mass such as a piece of quilting over the ticking mechanism on the back of the clock.

Fill the spray bottle with the clock oil if the oil wasn t purchased in a spray bottle. Make sure the pieces fill in the body space but do not interfere with the gears and moving parts of the clock. Set the paper towel on a table. Namely you will have to go for the oils specially designed for clock oiling purpose since otherwise you might damage the mechanism.

These speciality oils are thinner and are more sensitive to the delicate clock mechanism.
