How to Get Rid of Static in Your Clothes

Static electricity in your clothes is not only annoying it can be down right painful with those stings and zaps every time you move. Here are a few ways to eliminate static electricity from your clothing.

Things You'll Need

• dryer sheets
• dryer balls
• lotion

Instructions

1. The first thing you can do is to keep the static from building up when your clothes are in the dryer. The obvious answer is to use dryer sheets in a load of clothes drying in a clothes dryer, however, studies have shown that dryer sheets cause build-up in your dryer and can be a fire hazard. Try using dryer balls instead of dryer sheets. They usually come in packs of two, however, you can use more than two which will dry your clothes faster.

2. If you do have dryer sheets around, take one and rub it on your clothing before putting it on. If you are sensitive to the fragrances of dryer sheets, try the unscented or free and clear type.

3. Also, putting lotion on your arms and legs will cease static electricity from zapping you once you are dressed. With lotion you can eliminate the static and moisturize your skin at the same time.
