DIY Zipper Repair Kit:
If you frequently deal with zippers that malfunction, consider creating a small repair kit that includes a pencil, small soap bar, wax paper, and a pair of tweezers. This way, you’re always ready for a quick fix.
For Stubborn Zippers:
If the problem persists, a dab of silicone spray can work wonders for stiff zippers. Just be careful not to overdo it, as too much silicone can cause the zipper to be too slippery.
