Proper care can significantly prolong the life of metal zippers

Proper care can significantly prolong the life of metal zippers. To prevent corrosion, avoid exposing them to saltwater or harsh chemicals; clean with a soft cloth and mild soap if needed. For stuck zippers, apply a small amount of beeswax or graphite powder (not oil, which attracts dirt) to the teeth. When zipping, pull gently and align the teeth to prevent bending. Store items with metal zippers in a dry environment to avoid rust. Regular inspection of loose teeth or damaged sliders allows for timely repairs, ensuring your metal zippers remain functional for years.
