How to Fix a Nylon Zipper if the Zipper is Stuck

1

Slide the zipper down to the end of its track.
2

Use a very small amount of liquid soap or butter, and apply it up and down the track on both sides with your finger. Be careful that the material of the garment or handbag that the zipper is on won't be permanently stained by either.
3

Try sliding the zipper up again a few times. If it doesn't stick, wipe off the butter or liquid soap with a damp cloth.
