The Unexpected Item That Makes Fixing A Stuck Zipper Easier Than Ever
By MARCO ROSSI
Avoid struggling with a stuck zipper or even breaking it with this TikTok hack from @alexcosta. Rub a little candle wax on the zipper to lubricate the tracks and pull it with ease.
Use a candle stick or a little bit of hardened wax from a container candle, which you can easily scoop out with a spoon. The application is the same for both methods.
If the zipper continues to get stuck, instead of rubbing the wax on the closed zipper, rub it gently on either side of the teeth that will be exposed when you unzip the zipper.
If the slider is the issue, wax the underside of the entire tab. That should help reduce any friction, allowing it to move easier.
