Slider is Getting Stuck on Fabric
A stuck slider will get more stuck if people try to move them by brute force, especially if it has trapped fabric threads or has already bitten deeply through cloth. To avoid further aggravating the situation, it`s best to pull the slider back with as little force as possible, then gently remove the offending pieces of thread or fabric.
Handling Zippers on Clothes and Other Wearables
Put on or remove clothes only after the zipper has been fully opened. When closing the zipper, make sure that the hook or top button is fastened securely. Also it`s important to note that zippers should always be zipped wholly and not just midway, otherwise, the elements, bottom stop, or the slider itself will become extremely prone to pressure and damage.
Ironing With Zippers
As a rule of thumb, always iron with the proper heat that is suitable for the fabric or cloth that is being ironed. This does not just go for clothes, it`s also applicable to zippers too. Make sure that you know the kind of material that your zipper is made of, so that the right level of heat can be used.
For effective ironing, zippers should always be closed with the slider fixed in the proper position. The zipper itself should be covered with a piece of cloth, no matter what kind of fabric or material it is attached to. This is to prevent the heat from causing direct damage to the elements, the slider, and the tape.
