If you find that your clothes snap, crackle and pop alarmingly, or that you generate a spark with every step, try these simple remedies to minimize static cling.
Instructions
STEP 1: If you're already wearing the clothes that suffer from static cling, wet your hands slightly and brush them over the surface of your clothing.
STEP 2: While doing laundry, separate the synthetic fabrics, especially nylon, from the natural fabrics when putting clothes into the dryer. A load of all-natural fabrics, like cotton, will rarely develop static.
STEP 3: Remove your clothes from the dryer when they are just barely dry; overdrying is the No. 1 cause of static.
STEP 4: If you still notice static when you remove the clothes from the dryer, dampen your hands slightly before folding the laundry.
STEP 5: If all else fails, toss a fabric-softener sheet into the dryer before drying the next time you do laundry.
STEP 6: For really stubborn clothing--like nylon slips that bunch up underneath your skirt--rub a fabric-softener sheet on the surface of the fabric. This coats it with a waxy antistatic film.

I have the same problem. I think it's the brand of fabric sheets. I bought the arm and hammer kind and always had static. I'm going to try something different because I've never had so much static. I think there is always more static when it's cold outside for some reason. Static guard works or rub a fabric sheet on something once dried if you need to get the static out.

The best way to keep from getting zapped by static electricity is to keep it from building up in the first place. Dryer sheets help clothes; also, if you can raise the humidity in your home, it will help a LOT. Most homes' relative humidity drops down into the teens in winter; using humidifiers of any sort, whether single-room units, or whole-house units, can make a BIG difference.

There are some anti-static sprays. I have seen them at Wal-Mart in the past, not lately though but I haven't looked for them lately either. I don't remember what they are called or who puts them out. I did find one on web search called UltraSpray by UltraStat Inc. It can be used on carpets, upholstery, drapes, curtains, etc, etc. For clothes & blankets~you can either use liquid fabric softener in the rinse cycle or use dryer sheets. I personally prefer the liquid soft. because not only does it control static but your clothes smell wonderful!!!
Hope this info helps! Best wishes & have a great evening!!!

Get a spray bottle and fill with water and a little bit of liquid fabric softener. Spritz a little bit on the fabric. Good Luck! =0)

Use dryer sheets like bounce or downey in your dryer and you won`t have that trouble anymore!

I use those dryer balls you can buy at bed bath and beyond and they work fantastic.
