Stuck Zipper: How Vegetable Oil, Vaseline, and Wax Can Help

The situation when a zipper gets stuck is not a pleasant one.

Especially if you need to go out somewhere or, on the contrary, take off your outerwear and shoes with a lock.

As it turns out, three simple remedies that most people have at home can help solve the problem.

How to deal with a stuck zipper?

Take some Vaseline

Previously, this wonderful emollient was in every medicine cabinet, since there were no analogues to it. After that, Vaseline was undeservedly forgotten.

However, it is still worth buying: treat the jammed zipper and it will work again.

Vegetable oil

The advantage is that any oil will do for this project - even if it is expired and has lost its original properties.

We treat the zipper with oil and start moving it.

Wax

This method is great if you have wax candles at home. You just need to rub them on the zipper and try to move the lock from the dead point.

In most cases, the method works.
