I just moved to Denver, and the dry air here is realy causing me problems with static electricity. Are there any other ways to deal with it besides Static Guard?

use bounce in your dryer..but be sure to iron.....steam n press, use a board thats flat.....iron well...and don't scortch those linens, iron away the static cling....apply the appropriate starch, but you got to steam n press for success at the ironin board, and i do attest that it aids in static cling...and won't put a hole in your wallet either. If the ironin don't do the trick, get a humidifier, but i will not have static guard in my home!

I have the same problem. I went to walmart and purchased a couple of small humidifiers. The reason for the static is the air is too dry in the winter time. I think Sears sells a big unit for a couple of hundred dollars. But, my small ones only cost about $25.00 ea. Also, they work great for sinus problems.

I moved from Texas to ND and the air is so dry you shock yourself just putting on clothes at times. The only way to resolve this is to put moisture in the air so use a humidifier. Soon your skin will dry out if you don't. This was recommended to me not only by my Dr when I mentioned it to him in passing but by neighbors that have lived here their whole lives and it works!

I live is the desert where static electricity is high. I've used Bounty for years - and it works great. Have you tried it?

fabric softener sheets rubbed on stuff that is static-y
fabric softener liquid washed into clothes
consider using a humidifier to add some moisture to the air.

Put a lot of lotion on your body. If whatever you are wearing is clinging to you, put lotion on your hands, go to restroom and take it off. Run it through your hands... it should take care of it.
Of course, use a lot of fabric softener in the wash!!

use extra dryer sheets in the dryer, and you can even rub the dryer sheets on your hair or clothing that you're wearing to help if it still has static.

Ground, ground the dryer, and also touch the ground, seriously.
