Brilio.net - Some pieces of furniture, such as wallets, are usually designed with zippers that can be opened and closed. However, there are times when the zipper on the wallet cannot be opened or closed properly because it is stuck. Problems like this often occur in wallets that have been used for a long time.
Well, using a wallet for too long can basically cause a pile of dirt to get trapped in the teeth of the zipper. As a result, the zipper teeth become stuck or cannot be opened and closed properly. For this reason, many people think that the wallet will be damaged and cannot be used again if the zipper is in this condition.
However, instead of throwing it away, there is a simple trick you can do to fix a stuck wallet zipper. A trick that many people usually do is to rub the zipper teeth with wax. Even though it is effective, this trick can only be done when the wallet is in the open position.
So, 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 this trick in one of the uploaded videos. Instead of using candles, he instead relies on one kitchen ingredient.
How to solve a stuck zipper.
Reported by BrilioFood from Fitri Rahmawati's Facebook, Thursday (9/5), the kitchen ingredient used is cooking oil. Well, this cooking oil functions as a lubricant which makes the zipper slippery and works optimally again.

However, to make it easier to use, you should prepare cooking oil in a small container. Then dip the tip of the cutton bud or cotton swab into cooking oil. After that, apply it to all parts of the zipper that are stuck.
Well, cooking oil poured onto the zipper will help dissolve residue or dirt that causes the zipper to jam. Apart from that, this cooking oil also makes zippers smooth again and can be opened and closed perfectly. However, immediately after adding cooking oil, you should leave it for a few seconds so that the zipper can be opened and closed again.
