Removing static electricity from clothes?
2009-11-14, 5:51 AM #1
Some materials are bad with this, and a lot of the time even rinse doesn't seem to help...since this forum has some people who know a lot about everything, I thought I'd ask here for some tips!
Looks like we're not going down after all, so nevermind.

I have this really strange material blanket. It's blue and fuzzy. It's blue fuzz covering like a fishnet type thing of white string. Static electricity 'melts' the fuzz. If you like rub it over your head sparks will fly and where ever they land the fuzz starts to disintegrate. It has holes all over it because of this. The fishnet material stays, so its really weird.

That's my static electricity store.

Fabric softening dryer sheets prevent static cling. Put one or two into the dry cycle of the offending material and it usually takes care of it.

If you need to remove static on something not being washed, you can take a dryer sheet and rub it all over the material. You can also buy an anti-static spray that kills static really effectively. Although in my experience these have a minor, although pleasant (powder-like) odor to them.

Am I the only one that thinks static electricity is fun?
I love getting mini electrocutions.
(This is also coming from someone who would shock himself on a metal table exposed to high voltage for kicks .. "hey who can hold on the longest! I forgot the table was electrucated one day and went to wash it with both hands and a soaking wet rag. that sucked)

you remind me of Shocky from the animated movie Flushed Away.

I get mini electrocutions three times a week for 20 minutes when I go to physical therapy for my knees.

It gets old. Fast.

Or "these".

Whatever.
