3 Ways to Get Rid of a Stuck Zipper
There is nothing more frustrating than putting on a pair of jeans and not being able to do them up because the zipper is jammed.
Here, I’m going to show you 3 zipper hacks that you can try using simple household objects. These hacks will get that zip going up and down in no time.
Tools and materials:
- Vaseline
- Cotton bud
- Candle
- Pencil
1. Vaseline
For the first way to get rid of a stuck zipper, dip a cotton bud into some Vaseline.
Proceed to rub it all across the belt on both sides. This will help to reduce friction and make the belt work more smoothly.
2. Candle
For the next approach, try rubbing a large candle up and down the zipper.
The wax will have a similar effect to the Vaseline, and after doing this, your zipper will be gliding up and down like it’s supposed to.
3. Pencil
For the last hack, take a pencil and rub the led nib up and down the zip.

These are great ideas! Thanks!
How about a fork?. Put a tine into the very little hole on zippers handle. Very obvious.
