Do Royal paper shredders need to be oiled?

Incredulous (who has ever heard of such a thing), I queried Royal myself and received the following e-mail response: “We generally do not advice to lubricate the shredder becuase it will cause damage to motor and blades and it would void the warranty, so please do not use any oil to lubricate the shredder.”

How do you clean a Royal paper shredder?

You can also consult the instruction manual if you are having any trouble but in most cases, you simply lift the lid and clean off the dust with a cloth or a paper towel. If you see any ink smudges, you can also use dish soap diluted in lukewarm water but do not pour the solution on the shredder directly.

What is a good substitute for shredder oil?

If you are using an old and/or out of warranty paper shredder, you can use canola oil as a substitute rather than purchasing oil. The oil produced by some brands is actually just repackaged canola oil so you can save a little money by using canola oil.

Can I oil my shredder with olive oil?

I have the 12 page cross cut and I use olive oil about every 6 months or so. Dry oil, vegetable oil, shredder oil, 3-in-1, etc. If you use vegetable oil don’t pour straight from the bottle as you will pour too much.
