If your paper shredder has slowed down from when new, try lubricating the teeth. First clear out as much chewed up paper as possible, then use olive oil. Run the shredder without paper a couple of times, and hey presto! It now works like new again. Well, mine did! Good luck!

Does the oil leave a smell in the shredder and can you use other kinds of oil too?
I have found that the easiest and least messy way to do this is to spray a piece of paper with wd-40 and run that through the shredder.
No muss, no fuss, no dripping and it spreads the wd-40 evenly over the cutting blades.
