Clever Uses for Baby Oil You’ve Probably Never Thought Of

A stuck zipper can turn a simple task—like taking off a jacket or opening a bag—into a real hassle. Forcing it often makes things worse, but there’s an easy trick to get it moving again. Baby oil works as a quick lubricant to help stubborn zippers glide freely.

Dip a cotton bud into baby oil and apply it to the zipper teeth around the jammed area. Move the zipper gently back and forth until it loosens. In seconds, it’ll slide smoothly again, saving both your clothes and your patience from unnecessary damage.
