I am often in such a situation. Often some pedal noises can be fixed by
minor adjustments in the pedal supports ( e.g. the metal bars that go up
in an angle). Better not add graphite or teflon if you are not qualified
or permitted to do so. A pianist can minimize the problem by not using too
much force on the pedals, and you can choose a microphone positon that
does not pick up too much noises etc.

You're assuming it's a grand piano? If so, sometimes the pedal unit
isn't touching the ground. A suitable block underneath can stop it
moving around, if that's where the squeak is coming from. Paperback
books are good.
