Re: Solution for Static Cling?

I have never heard the safety pin solution. I don't have a big problem with cling but I do get shocks because I wear fleece around the house in the winter. Do you think it will help with that?

I use Static Guard. It works great.

If I have a fancy item of clothing where I don't want to spray directly onto the material, I spray my legs and hips with the Static Guard. It accomplishes the same thing.

Another vote for Static Guard {#emotions_dlg.thumbup} I buy it 3 cans at a time, never want to run out. I even have to spray my hairbrush sometimes or deal with fly away hair.

Put a small safety pin in the hem. It acts like a lightning rod to attract the static.

I do this and use static guard - great combo!

Re: Solution for Static Cling?

I use static guard all the time, especially after taking clothes out of plastic bags. I also have used moisturizer and both work, but usually Static Guard works best. I have never tried the pins but I will.

I had never heard of that, but I tried it yesterday and it WORKS GREAT. My Chiropractor even noticed that I didn't "shock" him when he helped me with my coat. Thanks to you and Esmeraldagooch for the great tip. {#emotions_dlg.thumbup}
