Dampen clothes slightly before drying (use a spray bottle or add a damp towel to the dryer)
Use dryer sheets
Use wool dryer balls
Add 1/2 cup of white vinegar to the rinse cycle (or a small amount to a spray bottle for lightly damp items)
Run a cold-water rinse or air-dry briefly to reduce charge buildup
Avoid over-drying; remove clothes slightly damp and finish air-drying
Use the correct dryer temperature for the fabric (lower heat reduces static)
Clean the dryer lint filter before each load
Keep the dryer vent and ducts clear for proper airflow
Increase indoor humidity (use a humidifier, especially in winter)
Use an anti-static spray made for clothing
If ironing, lightly mist fabric with water and use steam
Wash with a liquid fabric softener instead of dryer-only softening when possible
Wash synthetic-heavy loads separately and consider adding dryer sheets or wool balls for synthetics
Try an anti-static laundry additive in the wash
For immediate relief, lightly rub clothes with a metal hanger or use a static-control brush
