Billy Shat asked:


I have a polyester blend golf shirt that is loaded with static electricity when I remove it from the dryer. As I wear it throughout the day, the static charge gradually builds. It’s plain annoying to hear the snap of the sparks all day and for the hair on my arms to be charged. I also hate how it clings to everything. Is there a good way to short out the charge so it acts like a regular shirt? Btw, I use fabric softener in the wash.

Thanks

   There used to be anti static sprays on the market…..haven’t seen them lately as many people just rub a fresh dryer sheet over the clinging clothes. Missing that, I mist the clothes lightly. Water helps dispell the charge.

   The fact the charge is building during the day isn’t good. Once again, keep a dryer sheet handy, even dampening it a wee bit and rub over your shirt. Where you can do this? Good question….in the car? I’d probably deep six the shirt if it kept grabbing me.

   An added bonus spray your shirt it will also prevent static forgot another trick that works really well is to put safety pin somewhere unnoticeable on.

   Use fabric softener and it is probably better to air dry instead of tumble drying.
