Wash with warm water and then spray olive oil on it.

If it's stuck and it shouldn't be, use WD - 40,

if it moves and it shouldn't, use duct tape.

Exclamation took me awhile to remember

but i think the best product for a plastic zipper is armor all
for plastic.....makes it slicker than ya need it to be...
i'd use compressed air to clean out the salt....
