Stuck Zipper Quick Fix - Use Olive Oil To Unstick It

A stuck zipper can be a real nuisance and quite aggravating.

Here is a quick household remedy you can try to unstick that zipper quickly and easily - put a drop of olive oil on it.

Yes, that's right. It's that easy.

After you put the drop of olive oil on the zipper wipe off any excess olive oil, and then your zipper should move like it is supposed to.

Extra hint - be careful when using this trick on zippers attached to cloth, because the olive oil can stain the fabric if you're not careful.

That is why this tip works best with luggage or other bag zippers, which are attached to plastic or leather objects.
