How To Get Rid Of Static In Clothes?

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
