Get rid of static cling

Static cling is every fashion girl’s worst nightmare, and there is no time that static cling strikes quite like winter. Because static occurs when electric charges accumulate on fabrics that are rubbing together, especially in a dry environment, the combination of tights, and a skirt, and dry weather usually equals a static cling 911.

This fall, don’t let a bad case of static cling mean the death of a really great outfit. Here, seven tips for getting rid of static cling with things you already have at home.

1. Glide a metal hanger over your clothes.

This trick works especially well when you are wearing silk—simply glide a wire hanger between your clothes and your body to get rid of an electric charge, or glide a wire hanger over your clothes before you even put them on.

2. Hide a safety-pin inside your clothes.

If there is an easy place to tuck a metal safety-pin inside of your clothes—do it. That little bit of metal will prevent the build-up of static cling.

3. Rub a small amount of water or lotion on yourself.

Who knew? Simply rub a small amount of water or lotion on yourself where the static cling is happening to add moisture to your clothes, and to eliminate static cling.

4. Spritz some hairspray on yourself.

There are more than a few uses for hairspray and one of them is getting rid of static cling. Simply spray hairspray on the area that is being impacted, and watch it disappear.

5. Carry dryer sheets with you.

Having serious static cling issues? You might need to call in the big guns and carry dryer sheets around with you. Simply rub the dryer sheets over your clothes to remove static cling.

6. DIY homemade static guard.

You’ve likely seen sprays in the drugstore that tout being able to get rid of static cling, but you can actually DIY the formula at home. Mix one cap full of fabric softener in a spray bottle of water, and spray the mixture where the static cling is happening.

7. Wear leather soled shoes.

Sub your rubber soled shoes for leather soled shoes to rid yourself of a static cling problem. Why does the work? The leather allows electricity to freely flow through your body, rather than rubber which will lock it in one place.
