Brilio.net - Some furniture, such as wallets, are often equipped with zippers that can be opened and closed. However, sometimes the zipper on the wallet gets stuck and does not function properly. This problem often occurs in wallets that have been used for a long time. Prolonged use can cause dirt to build up between the zipper teeth, causing a jam.
Many people assume that their wallets are damaged and cannot be used anymore when the zipper has problems like this. However, instead of throwing it away, there are simple tricks that can be done to fix a stuck zipper. One common trick is to rub the zipper teeth with wax. Although effective, this trick can only be done when the wallet is in the open position.
If the zipper is stuck in the closed wallet position, there is another method that is more effective. A Facebook user named Fitri Rahmawati once shared the trick through one of her uploaded videos. Instead of using candles, she used a kitchen ingredient to solve this problem.

But to make it easier to use, it is better to prepare cooking oil in a small container. Then dip the tip of a cotton bud or cotton stick into the cooking oil. After that, apply it to the entire part of the zipper that is stuck.
Well, cooking oil poured into the zipper will help remove residue or dirt that makes the zipper jammed. In addition, this cooking oil also makes the zipper slippery again and can be opened and closed perfectly. However, immediately after being given cooking oil, it is better to let it sit for a few seconds so that the zipper can be opened and closed again.
