Does anyone know how...?

Question

To get rid of static....it's in my clothes, furniture, even my pets. Help!!

Answer 1

buy a humidifier.

Answer 2

Getting rid of static starts with keeping humidity at a normal level in your home, or office. As we all know, relative humidity drops during the winter months, leaving fabrics and other material more susceptible to generating static. Get a humidifier in your home and in your office if your boss approves (or if you’re the boss). We prefer the steam vaporizer type humidifiers because mold and bacteria don’t build up as quickly from the intense heat.

Switch from synthetic fabrics to natural fabrics if you want to prevent static buildup. Natural fibers like cotton produce less static than synthetic fibers like nylon and polyester. These Nike wind pants I’m wearing right now are 100% polyester and I have never had a pair of pants bunch up on my leg as bad as these. Check your tags and make sure your winter wardrobe consists mostly of cottons. Whatever you do, don’t wear wool and polyester together; that’s an electrical fire waiting to happen.
Of course, if you’re going to get rid of static cling, you need to use drier sheets. Now, you should know that people with sensitive skin and asthma can be affected by the toxic chemicals in drier sheets. Some people have even reported headaches due to the fumes. There are static reducing, toxin free dryer sheets out there. www.nontoxic.com sells a dryer sheet they claim will reduce static without any chemicals for 3 years.
Switching from rubber to leather shoes can help reduce static. The reason you want to switch to leather is because the rubber and synthetic fibers in regular shoes react with carpet, especially cheap carpet, and generate static. Shoe companies like Dr. Martens sell shoes that are known to cause less static; they’re called static dissipating shoes and they’re no more expensive than a regular pair of Dr. Martens. Getting rid of static has never been more fashionable!
A mixture of fabric softener and water in a spray bottle is a good static prevention tool. If you don’t have particularly sensitive skin and aren’t bothered by fabric softener, then it is recommended that you mix liquid fabric softener (1 tablespoon per spray bottle) and water in a spray bottle, and then lightly mist the furniture and carpet in your home. This is especially effective on furniture, since most furniture is upholstered with synthetic fabrics, which generate static.
