I would try to get some silicone-based lubrication into them, such as the spray used to lubricate garage door hinges. It tends to adhere to the surfaces and lasts longer than, say, WD40 which is primarily for loosening thing, not lubricating them in spite what it says on the can.

You would have to first thoroughly clean off whatever is on them, then spray liberally at the ends and even along the outer cable, flexing it a bit to separate the windings enough to get the lubrication inside. If the cables are vinyl covered, then do the best you can from the ends.
