If you find yourself dealing with a sticky or stubborn situation, like trying to get a stubborn jar lid open or a door that just won’t budge, there’s a simple trick you can try to make your life easier. Here’s what you should do:
First, get some Rubber Gloves or a rubber band. These materials give you a better grip and help increase the friction between your hand and the lid or handle.
Then, grip the lid firmly with your gloves or wrap the rubber band around it for extra grip. This makes it easier to turn or pull without slipping.
Next, try turning or pulling again with firm, steady pressure. Sometimes, a little additional force with a good grip is all it takes to get unstuck.
If the item still won’t budge, you can also gently tap around the edges of the lid or handle with a spoon or your knuckles. This can help break any vacuum seal or loosen any stuck parts.
Once it opens, clean the lid or handle thoroughly, and consider using a little bit of petroleum jelly or soap around the edge for easier opening next time.
By using this simple approach—adding grip, applying steady pressure, and gently tapping—you can usually solve these common sticking problems easily and quickly.
