Zip very stiff - how do I sort this ?

Jodi

I dont know if any one can help or not, but my zip on two pairs of jeans have become very stiff (and before anyone says it I hav'nt gained any weight, but I have lost a wee bit lol), does any one have a cure for this ????

Thank you, Jodi

I have winzip on my computer which zips and unzips thing.

But I don't think it's going to be much use in this case.

'Draw' on the zip teeth with an ordinary lead pencil, that's supposed to help.

Rub the zip with either soap or a candle, taking care not to transfer either to the fabric of the jeans.

Try rubbing some furniture polish on the teeth, that should help.

Try some WD40?

This should definatly work, ive tried it before, just rub the teeth of the zip all over with the pencil, and it should run up and down without any probs!!!

Candle wax works best in my opinion! One of my Nan's remedies, so tried and true!

sprinkle some talcum powder on the zip and that should ease it.
