You must find that mouse and let him loose outside....
Silicon works great!
WD-40 will do the trick...(drives out moisture)
Light weight oil is old fasioned but will work
Crisco or lard if one is a shut in and can't go the Home Depot or Lowes
If its a bank vault door you might have to use white lithium greese

Next to the WD-40 in the store is a yellow can of Silicone Lubriant Spray. Use that. It's better than WD-40 for this particular application.
Spray a drop or two on the top of each hinge. Then open and close the door about 10 times to work the lubricant into the hinge.
Should last quite some time (6 months?) before needing it again.

Is it the hinge or the door hitting the frame? If it is the hinge use WD-40 or some other lubricant. If it is the door hitting the frame rehang the door so that it fits properly in the opening. this might include sanding excess paint off or trimming the door.

Use a little 3 in 1 oil (for sewing machines) on the hinges. If you don't have that, maybe some WD40 or even a little cooking oil if you don't have anything else suitable.

WD-40 or any household oil. I have used my sewing maching oil. Try vaseline if you don't have oil. You would have to work it into the hinges. Keep swinging the door a little as you put it on.

If you're talking about the hinges squeaking, try rubbing a candle or working a bit of household wax into the cracks. You'll have to open and close it several times for it to distribute, but its always worked for me.

The quickest and most economical for me... hair oil sheen. Just spray on the hinges and watch the magic.

When I've had something like a sticky drawer I rub a candle on the runners to help it glide more smoothly, you could try that.
