How do I eliminate static cling from clothes or hair?
Static electricity causes clothes to stick together or to your body, and makes hair fly away uncontrollably. It is worst in dry winter air and with synthetic fabrics.
- Discharge static with dryer sheets, water mist, or metal4
Quick fixes for static cling work by either adding moisture to dissipate charge or using metal to ground it out. Each method takes seconds and uses common household items.

- Spray commercial anti-static product on garments4
Commercial anti-static sprays like Static Guard neutralize static charge on contact and prevent cling for several hours. They work on all fabric types including synthetics, wool, and blends.

- Raise indoor humidity to prevent static buildup3
Static cling is far more common when indoor air drops below 30% relative humidity, typical in heated homes during winter. Raising humidity allows electrical charges to dissipate through moisture in the air before they build up on fabrics or hair.
