This time of the year is when the dry winter air turns a lot of our clothes clingy and static-laden. Not only is static cling frustrating, it can be embarrassing when your clothes cling tightly to your body or cause bunching, sparking, dust attraction and unpleasant shocks when touching objects. Static cling is caused by friction which produces electricity in clothes.
Static cling does not go away on it's own, so here are a few tips to banish static:
1. Purchase clothing made from natural fibres.
2. Separate synthetic fabrics from natural fibres when washing
3. Add a 1/4 cup of vinegar to your laundry wash cycle or final rinse
4. Use a fabric softener sheet in the dryer. Do not over dry when using the dryer. Remove when damp and shake out. Air dry in the sunshine.
5. If you're wearing the clothes, wet your hands slightly and brush them over the surface of your clothing. Or fill a spritzer bottle with water and wet the fabric lightly
6. If you're wearing pantyhose, spray aerosol hairspray on them. You can also rub lotion on your hands and rub your pantyhose
elaundry's failsafe solution to static cling is Statique Anti-Static Spray, available in our online store.
Now you can banish static with an instantaneous water-based spray which prevents static build up on fabrics (not just your clothes!). Simply spray directly onto clothing, into your clothes dryer, in a rinse cycle or onto car seats to stop static in it's tracks. Buy Now
