Also know, how do you fix Velcro that won't stick?
Brush with a fine-toothed comb Another quick way to fix VELCRO® Brand fasteners is to brush them with a fine-toothed comb. You'll probably already have one lying around at home and they're great for removing debris that is stuck stubbornly in your hook and loop fasteners!
- Cut tapes to desired length.
- Machine- or hand-sew loop tape around edges of fabric and backstitch to secure.
- Peel film backing from hook tape and press firmly on clean, dry surface.
- Wait one hour for adhesive to set.
Correspondingly, how do you revive Velcro?
- Locate the rough, nylon side of the Velcro. Use the toothbrush to brush through this side several times to try to clear out debris.
- Clear out more fuzzy debris from the nylon side of the Velcro using the safety pin.
- Light a match.
- Carefully trim the fuzzy side of the Velcro with the scissors.
Steps to Remove the Lint:
- Rub a vacuum hose over the Velcro to remove as much lint as possible.
- Scrubbing the Velcro with a nail brush and some soap can work to loosen and remove the lint.
- Use a narrow tooth comb to comb out the remaining lint.
