What should I do if the zipper cannot be pulled down?

In the process of using zippers, people will encounter various problems. If the zipper has not been used for a long time or is not stored properly, the zipper may rust and become not smooth to use, and the zipper may not be able to be pulled down. In addition, even zippers that are used frequently will inevitably get stuck. So how to solve the problem of a zipper that cannot be pulled down?

What should I do if the zipper cannot be pulled down?

1. You can hold the tail of the zipper, straighten the zipper, and then pull it from bottom to top repeatedly to check whether it is smooth. If it is not smooth, many times it is because the zipper is stuck with something else, so it is not smooth. Just remove the obstacle and it will return to normal.

2. The simplest and most effective method is to apply a layer of wax on the surface of the zipper and use the lubricating effect of the wax to achieve a smooth effect. After wiping the surface of the zipper back and forth with a candle, and then pulling it repeatedly from bottom to top several times, the zipper will be smooth.

3. In addition to wax, you can also use lubricating oil. Choose a more transparent and clean one. Drop a few drops on the zipper pull ring and pull it repeatedly to achieve smooth operation.

Apply a little household oil to lubricate the clothes and avoid damaging the zipper.

Or you can use something, such as a screwdriver, to pry the zipper head open a little bit, that is, separate the zipper head up and down a little bit, that's it, and then clamp them together with pliers. But pry slowly, don't break it, just pry enough to get the zipper out.

Repair zipper

Sometimes the zipper cannot be opened or closed. Take a crayon and smear it back and forth on the two rows of teeth. It will be very smooth next time you pull it up. You can also use a candle!

Dipping a cotton swab in some Vaseline and rubbing it back and forth on the teeth can have the same effect.

After a metal zipper has been used for a long time, the slider will become loose and the opening will become larger, making it difficult to close. Use tweezers to grab the tail of the slider and clamp it tightly, but be careful not to clamp it too hard or it will break.

If the pull tab on the slider falls off, you can use a paper clip to replace it.

What should I do if the zipper on my pants keeps sliding down? Prepare a key ring, put it on the pull tab, and then buckle the key ring on the trouser button so that it will not slide down anymore.

Pilling of clothes

If clothes are rubbed too much when worn, they will pill, which is very uncomfortable to touch and looks unsightly. Find a manual razor and you can shave off the hair balls. It is simple and easy to operate.

Bath stones used for scrubbing in the bathroom can also remove hair balls. If you don’t have bath stones, you can use a bath towel instead!

Sandpaper can also be used for this purpose.

The common transparent tape at home can also be used to remove pilling. Take a tape about 10 cm wide, stick it on the pilling area, press it to ensure it sticks firmly, and finally tear it off. The pilling will be easily removed.

Clothes wrinkle removal

Clothes will become wrinkled if they are often crumpled or kept in the closet for a long time. But don’t worry, hang your clothes on the shower rod in the bathroom and shower for 15 minutes. The rising steam can remove wrinkles!

Every woman who loves beauty will have a hair straightening iron at home, which can come in handy at this time. Use a straightening iron to clamp the clothes and slowly smooth them down, the clothes will become smooth. Don't set the temperature too high to avoid burning your clothes.

A hair dryer can also remove wrinkles. Hang up the wet clothes and use a hair dryer on hot air to dry them, and your wrinkled clothes will look brand new!

Pull out the rope

Some clothing with drawstrings have cords that pull out easily and are difficult to tuck back in. In fact, all you need is a straw and a stapler. As shown in the picture, use a stapler to staple the rope and the straw together, then thread the straw into the clothes and pull it out from the other end.

Even a paper clip can do the trick! Attach the paper clip to the string and thread it through the paper clip.

New shoes squeeze your feet

New shoes will squeeze your feet and even rub your feet. Let me teach you a trick. Fill a small plastic bag with water, tie it tightly, and place it inside the shoe. Then put the shoes in the freezer overnight, and when you take them out the next day, they will no longer be tight.

Alternatively, you can put on thick cotton socks, put on new shoes, and use a hair dryer to set the hot air to blow on the shoe surface, which can also soften the leather.

Pants don't fit

The new pants I bought don’t fit me well. They feel loose when I wear them and I’m always worried that they will fall down.

Find a piece of elastic, sew it along the edge, and then you can put it on easily.
