Avoid forcing a stuck slider—use a little petroleum jelly or oil to gently loosen it.

Replace worn sliders before they cause further damage to the zipper. You can easily find replacements at fabric stores or online.

With these handy tricks, you’ll save on repairs and give your clothes and accessories a second life! Don’t hesitate to share these tips with friends—they’ll thank you when their favorite zipper fails!
