Troubleshooting

Skirt has creases

Gently try to flatten the creases by laying the skirt flat in a warm (not hot) place. Avoid ironing directly on the varnished surface. A hairdryer on a low, cool setting held at a distance may help, followed by careful smoothing.

Zipper is stiff or stuck

Apply a small amount of graphite pencil lead or a silicone-based lubricant to the zipper teeth. Gently work the zipper up and down until it moves freely.

Surface appears dull

Use a specialized vinyl or patent leather cleaner sparingly on a soft cloth to restore shine. Test on an inconspicuous area first.
