| How to Avoid Static Cling? What causes static cling? Get ready for Physics 101. Static electricity is caused when charges from different fabrics build up, rub together and exchange electrons. And low humidity helps promote static cling; that's why you'll find it's worse with clothes as they exit the dryer or in the winter when you're in a dry, heated environment. Now that you've learned more than you probably ever wanted to know about causing static electricity, how do you prevent it? How to prevent static cling - Dry smart: Select the right dryer temperature and length of drying time so that dry fabrics are not rubbing against one another in a hot dryer.
- Use a dryer sheet: Since dryer sheets work in the dryer where static occurs, they prevent static cling better than liquid fabric softeners. Just remember to use each dryer sheet once, since a single sheet has the right amount of softener for your average size laundry load.
How to Fix Static
Water is static cling's enemy, so if your clothes are stuck together when you remove them from the dryer, try wetting your hands before folding or lightly misting the load. Either of these techniques will discharge the static, and should prevent it from building up again. |
