HELP! Stactic Cling Has Me At Wits End
Am I the only one suffering from static electricity this winter?!
It's horrible, it effects:
- Kissing: Good morning hubby-ZAP!
- My clothes: I was walking around with my butt showing the other day because my skirt had clinged so far up! Thankfully I was wearing leggings!
- My hair: Looks like I've stuck my finger in a light socket!
- Meet a new person & shake hand-ZAP!
Which of course drives me crazy!
I can't be the only one with this issue so I looked up some tips, experts recommend the following:
- Of course dryer sheets will remove most of your static cling from your clothes, but none have been working for me, and it's not like I can run one through my hair, right?!
- Run a Humidifier in your home
- Wear a thimble on your finger through out the day- I tried this over the weekend and it seemed to work well, but now I have to deal with everyone asking me what I'm sewing!
- Use lots of lotion
- Place anti static rugs and wear rubber soled shoes
- Wear cotton clothing
- and if you've acquired a lot of static you can touch metal to metal to discharge it, or just kiss your significant other!
