Creaky - Dust/dirt could have settled, clogging up the moving parts. Adding more lubrication at this point just makes things worse. You could strip the whole thing apart, degrease everything, then relube sparingly.

Unresponsive - The tension of the spring can be adjusted, but if the spring is already stretched out, you might need a new one.

You don't degrease, you regrease it (if no rust was found). Or else try to remove the rust using sand paper then grease it. The spring U can feel when U are stepping on it. If the rebound was v slow, then the spring is too loose or maybe it's spoilt. U should get the new spring. Bring along the pedal.

Do clean it, is a better way of keeping things in shape. Now recession eh..
