squeaky
Like rusty hinges
Squeaky describes sounds that are high-pitched and slightly grating, like a rusty hinge or rubber sole on a floor: The squeaky wheel gets the grease.
Something squeaky clean is spotlessly clean—so clean it squeaks when rubbed—or figuratively, free of any taint or scandal: His record is squeaky clean.
