Help:the winter is here and i get BAD Static shocks, how do i get rid of the problem for good.?

Question

It's literally controlling me...

Answer 1

It depends , if its your hair , use conditioner , if its your clothes , use fabric softener , if its your house , you need to boil water or get a humidifier . Keep a glass of water by your bed every night.

Answer 2

Nylon and rubber are the problem.

Get wool carpets and wear leather soled shoes. You need to be able to conduct the static out of your body, because if you have insulated shoes (rubber or nylon soles), the static just builds and builds in your body because it has nowhere to go, til you touch a conductor.

If not possible, just make sure that when you touch things, you do it forcefully. You want to ensure that the tiny gap that exists between the conductor and your fingers, across which the spark jumps, exists for the shortest possible time.

Answer 3

You need a humidifier added to your heater at home.

If you can't afford that, I know my mom alway kept a pot of water boiling on the stove to get moisture into the air in winter.

Or just buy a simple cold water mister and run that when the air is very dry.

Answer 4

You need a humidifier to add moisture to the air.

If possible, keep air humidity above 30% r.h.

Tip - if the air in your room is very dry you could try keeping an open wide dish of water handy - this will evaporate and moisten the air nearby

Answer 5

Hi. You can carry a key to touch the objects that shock you or wear a glove. The key must be held firmly. Try it!

Answer 6

They are right, ( the ones who posted here). You can also use dryer sheets on your clothes to help. Not used but new.

Answer 7

Get rid of your carpet, and walk around barefoot.
