A zipper is a very convenient type of fastener to use.

The presence of a zipper is a guarantee that the parts of a jacket, sweater, boots or bag will be connected and disconnected very quickly.

But there is one circumstance that complicates the process. We are talking about the periodic "jamming" of the zipper.

Sometimes the zipper slider gets stuck, which is very annoying for the owner of the clothes or shoes.

The situation becomes more complicated if there are problems with the clasp teeth: they may not fit together, or they may even come off.

However, experienced housewives have found a way to prevent the above-described difficulties.

How to treat a zipper

Immediately after purchasing an item that has a zipper, you need to take some hand cream. This product should be used to lubricate the fastener.

Oddly enough, such “processing” will significantly extend the life of the zipper.

The runner will literally start to slide. Stuckness will become a very rare occurrence.

The teeth will not fall out. There will be practically no problems with fastening or unfastening clothes.

By the way, you can use olive oil instead of hand cream. Lubricating the zipper with this product will give a similar result.
