How to restore an old Velcro in 3 minutes — video life hack

Velcro on shoes is just one of a dozen examples. A similar mount is installed on bags and backpacks. And also on jackets, overalls, pants and even hats. Do not forget about collars for dogs — here it is also often used, in the case when the owners choose not a standard buckle as a lock, but fastex — a plastic semi-automatic clasp. Fortunately, the Velcro device is the same, and therefore it can be cleaned in each of the cases.

Of course, you can take your expensive thing to the studio and they will easily replace the Velcro. But it costs money. And it also takes a lot of time — find a salon, take it, wait, pick it up. Well, it is worth excluding the human factor — the master’s hand will tremble, and the thing is spoiled. Fortunately, there are life hacks.

We take a thing with Velcro, which no longer holds an old toothbrush, which you do not plan to use for its intended purpose. If you are right-handed — a thing in your left hand, a toothbrush in your right, and begins to move the bristles along the Velcro along, in one direction. Once again — no need to carry the brush in different directions, as if you are trying to protect Velcro from caries — calm, monotonous movements in one direction. One minute, and ready — Velcro holds again.

The problem was that the Velcro was dirty, so it didn’t hold. But we used a life hack and fixed everything. And best of all, without financial investments.
