How to Get a Zipper to Work Smoother

You've just pulled on your favorite jacket and you're running out the door into the cold night air -- when the gold metal zipper gets stuck. Instead of having this or any other zipper professionally repaired, save a bundle of cash and fix the stuck zipper you. Zippers typically get stuck if they're blocked by an obstruction, but they may also stop gliding smoothly as a garment ages. Fix your corn teeth zipper by using one of several common household items to lubricate the zipper teeth.

Step 1

Check your highly polished metal zipper for obstructions as small pieces of lint or a thread can stop the zipper from sliding properly. If the zipper lining is caught in the zipper, pull the fabric back and forth a few times to get it out. If you see an obstruction that you can't pull out with your fingers, try using a small pair of scissors to remove it. Take care not to damage the garment with the scissors.

Step 2

Open the zipper all the way. Rub over the zipper teeth with a bar of unscented soap, a pencil graphite, a crayon or some candle wax.

Step 3

Zip up the zipper and rub the soap, crayon, candle wax or pencil over the teeth again.

Step 4

Pull the zipper up and down a few times until it glides smoothly. If the zipper continues to stick, apply another coat of wax, soap, crayon or graphite.

Step 5

Rub the zipper with a dry cloth to get rid of any excess residue.
