How do I get this hinge to start squeaking again?

This deck door has been squeaky for at least the last 15 years. Loud as hell so it was like a perimeter alarm. Someone recently got a little overzealous with the WD-40 and now this thing is dead silent, to the point that it’s unsettling. After browsing online/reddit I have tried the following: pure acetone, dawn dish soap on a toothbrush, oxy clean spray, water, hydrogen peroxide, salt, tightening the screws and loosening the screws. It’s got to be at least clean right? What now? I’m not able to completely remove it to have it soak in anything. submitted by /u/LeaLaurine [link] [comments]
