How to Remove Rust from Zipper?

As one of the most practical inventions in the 19th century, zipper greatly facilitates people's life. Designers also like to make use of the zipper's features and come up with novel ideas to transform things around them. There are a lot of zipper related things in our life, such as canvas zippered pouch, leather tote with zipper, transparent zipper lock pouch and so on. However, in our daily life, we often find rusted zipper, which will affect the beauty of our objects. So, how to remove rust from zipper?

Removing rust with lemons

We can squeeze the juice out of fresh lemons and drip them on the rust. Then rub with your hands until the rust is removed. In addition, you can use a 10 percent citric acid solution or 10 percent oxalic acid solution to moisten the stain and then soak the item in a concentrated saline solution. All you need to do the next day is to wash and rinse your clothes. That's when you'll find that your backpacks with metal zipper or zipper hoodies have a whole new look.

Removing rust with yogurt

This method requires that we soak the rust area with water and then coat it with yogurt. Finally we should soap the rust and wash it off. Because this method is simple and easy to learn, people often use it. As zipper slider and puller are easy to rust, we should pay more attention to them in the cleaning process.

Removing rust with vinegar

To get rid of rust in this way, we'd better choose white vinegar. If you are worried about the vinegar will make clothes fade, you can first dilute the vinegar properly. This method is not suitable for clothes that are too bright. We need to drop the vinegar on the rust and rub it slowly.

We must remember to rinse with water at the end, otherwise there will be a smell of vinegar on clothes. To prevent the zipper from changing in water, we'd better choose a waterproof zipper.

Oxalic acid solution

The first step is to make the oxalic acid pill into a solution. Then drip it on the metal teeth zipper roll and rub it. Finally, wash with soapy water (this method is also not suitable for bright clothes). The other thing we need to be very careful about is not getting oxalic acid in the eye during the operation because of the strong irritation of oxalic acid.

In addition to the above methods, we can also use oxidation tools to remove rust. In addition, there are plenty of oxidizable liquid tools on the market, and spraying them on rusted areas can also remove rust stains from clothing. If the rust cannot be removed after self-operation, or the rust area is too large for self-operation, we suggest replacing a new chain or going to a professional repair shop for maintenance.

If you don't want to go through the hassle of dealing with rust, you can opt for a resin zipper. LONGQI KKK provides many types of zippers. In addition, you can also choose the customized zipper pouch in order to meet people's need for personalization.
