• Synthetic fibers, especially polyester, nylon and their
blends, are the major culprits. These
fibers are prone to building up static electricity when subjected to friction.
• Don’t let those natural fibers fool you…they’re suspect
too! Just not to the same extent.
What?
• Static electricity is both the accumulation of an
electric charge on an isolated body and the electrical discharge resulting from
that buildup.
When?
• Static makes its annual debut when the humidity drops
and the cold, dry weather sets in.
• These fibers can also build-up a charge (and we’re not
talking about your Visa) when you wear them, use the dryer; even carpets can
become charged when you walk over them.
Where can you purchase anti-static spray?
The Laundress - our Static Solution is in our classic
scent and is a non-aerosol and non-toxic solution to combat those embarrassing
static moments.
Why?
Not only is it embarrassing but…
• It will attract dirt to fabrics and soil garments.
• Minor electrical shocks that may be painful.
How to resolve?
• Spray Static Solution at static area or in between body
and garment or in between layers (Trousers/Socks, Skit/Stockings).
• Known to be used on the head too!
• Using fabric conditioner in the wash will help to
eliminate static buildup.
• Avoid the dryer as this builds a serious charge.
