What to replace antistatic with: not the most hopeless options

One of the winter's nuisances, besides the cold and dampness, is the pile of clothes that accumulate static electricity.
You can deal with the problem using an antistatic agent, which is not always at hand. In such cases, improvised means come to the rescue.
Water and wet wipes
Water does not provide long-term protection. The effect lasts only until the items dry. You can use regular water or wet wipes.
If you haven't left the house yet, you can add a tablespoon of fabric softener to the water and spray the clothes with this solution.
You can mix vinegar with water 1:6 and rinse your clothes after washing. The fabric will become softer and more elastic, and at the same time will not accumulate static electricity.
Mix lemon juice with water in the same proportion. The solution is used for watering with a spray bottle.
Metal objects
You can attach pins, paper clips or other metal items to the lining.
And for the same reason, it is recommended to store static-producing clothes on a metal hanger.
Hairspray
Well, and a really simple option is to use hairspray instead of antistatic. You need to spray it from a distance of 20-40 centimeters, otherwise stains may remain.
