What to do if your clothes become electrified: the simplest thing you can do

15.12.2024 06:20

Without going into details and speaking in simple terms, this phenomenon can be explained by the composition of the fabric.

The more synthetic fibers a material contains, the greater the chance that hair will become electrified and things will stick to each other.

Add to this the air dried out by heating devices, and a static charge is guaranteed.

To prevent things from sticking to your body and your hair from standing on end, take preventative measures.

It is unlikely that you will be able to change your entire wardrobe to wool, cotton and linen in winter, but there are some things you can do.

Moisturizing

If you don't have anything at hand, wet your hands with water and wipe the inside of your clothes. You can use wet wipes with the same effect.

Metal

A metal piece will help relieve tension. That's why many people wear a pin, or even more than one, on the lining.

When putting away synthetic clothing, hang it on a metal hanger.

Washing

You can use special products when washing to minimize the unpleasant effect.

But folk remedies work just as well: vinegar or citric acid, laundry soap, baking soda and salt.

After washing, it is recommended to dry synthetics on the balcony or in a well-ventilated area.
