That's a good start, but not enough. Actually, I don't do the cleaning step. I use white lithium spray grease (from Home Depot or Lowe's) on the TRACKS, with special attention to the curved sections, the WHEELS axle areas, and the HINGES on each door section.

I also spray grease on the DRIVE TRAIN of the opener and on the large overhead SPRINGS.

You should get immediate relief, and perhaps more in a few days. If there is still noise after a few days do a second treatment.

This works!
