I have a zipper that sticks all the time. What can I do with it to make it better?

1) Soap
2) Candle
3) Silicone
4) Baby Oil
Rub a bar of soap on it or a candle. This lubricates it. This works on an open or closed zipper.
Another fix temporary fix that I love is to use a TINY bit of Dimethicone based anti-frizz product for hair. One kind is called "Frizz-Eze" another is called "Citre-Shine". This stuff will lube up anything! Just put one drop on your finger & rub it back & forth between fingers & thumb. When most of it is rubbed into your hands & you only have only a TINY bit left, rub your finger down the inside of the open zipper.
* Don't use a pencil on light colored clothing! It can rub off & stain the fabric. & use only a white candle on light colored clothing just to make sure. Graphite works best on metal zippers, not so well on plastic.
Run a bar of soap over it then work zipper up and down to work it in.
