How to Get a Suitcase Zipper Unstuck
- 1). Check the back of the zipper for any thread or piece of zipper lining that is stuck in the zipper. If you do find a piece of stuck thread or zipper lining gently tug at the thread/lining back and forth to dislodge the fabric from the zipper.
- 2). Rub a candle or unscented bar of soap over the zipper's teeth to encourage the zipper to slide more readily and become unstuck.
- 3). Dab a bit of liquid dish soap on a cotton swap or your hands and place the soap along the teeth of the zipper where it is stuck.. Work the zipper back and forth till it moves freely.
- 4). Lightly dab at the zipper with a wet washcloth to remove the soap or wax, then quickly dry off with a clean rag or paper towels to avoid rusting.
