If the zipper is seriously damaged, you can go to the store to replace it with a new zipper.

What should I do if my clothes zipper is difficult to close?

To avoid frequent problems with zippers on clothes, there are some tips when using zippers in daily life!

1. Don't pull too quickly or too hard, and don't pull too hard.

2. Do not stretch it too tight to avoid it stretching.

3. Apply a layer of wax on the zipper frequently and pull it back and forth to ensure that it can slide smoothly.

4. Be sure to close the zipper when washing clothes, otherwise the zipper will be twisted arbitrarily after washing and in the washing machine and dryer, causing the zipper teeth to fall off and become damaged.

5. Check the zipper frequently and pay attention to whether it is "loose" or "skewed". If it is loose, you can use a small hammer to gently tap the zipper head a few times to make the upper and lower teeth bite tighter, so that the teeth will not fall off frequently.

Tips for fixing a zipper that doesn't work

1. The zipper cannot be pulled

If the zipper won't open no matter how hard you try, you can apply soap or wax on it, and then slide it up and down a few times, and the zipper will open.

2. The zipper cannot be closed

The main reason why the zipper cannot be closed is that the distance between the upper and lower cards of the zipper slider is enlarged or widened left and right. Just use pliers to gently clamp it up and down or left and right. Be careful not to use too much force to avoid damaging the zipper head! After repair, you can apply a little wax on the zipper to make it smoother in the future. If you use pliers to clamp it closed several times and it breaks again after a few days, you should consider replacing the zipper head.

Hold the tail part of the zipper, straighten it, and then pull it from bottom to top to see if it is smooth. If not, you can find some wax and apply it on the zipper surface. This wax can be obtained from the outer packaging of some medicines, or of course a candle will work too. Rub it back and forth on the zipper a few times.

If you don't have wax, you can use a few drops of sewing machine oil. Don't use engine oil, as it is too dark and dirty. This will be clean and smooth.

You can sew a windbreaker hook on the zipper. This hook can hook the square hole at the top of the zipper, so that the zipper can move freely.

If this method doesn't work, you can replace the zipper head with a better metal zipper head, and it will quickly and smoothly return to normal. If it doesn't work, you can replace all of them with new ones.
