I picked up a couple of Venoms cheap a few months ago. All the zippers were stuck, really stuck. All I did was soak them in very hot water and, poof,
I was able to work them loose and clean them up good as new. I used a small brush to clean the gunk off.
Others recommend some lubricants but I never needed to do that. There is another thread on this topic. Let me see if I can find it.

What he said. I used the tiniest amount of WD-40 before washing too, but it was probably unnecessary. After it's working, use some SailKote on them

I used a steam cleaner. Worked the charm.
