PSA: don't spray lithium grease in your shredder.

For future reference:

Shredder lube is just mineral oil.

Buy a small bottle of mineral oil from your local drug store or supermarket. After you empty the basket, spread some mineral oil on a sheet of 8.5x11-inch paper and fold it in half, then run the paper through the shredder. (Don't use so much oil that it drips off the page.)

That's all there is to cleaning and lubing a home or small-office shredder.

Thanks for this suggestion. We have an older shredder that I've never lubricated, and on occasion have been curious of the best way to do it.
