Wash Dry Fold Raleigh NC: Remove Static Cling, Naturally!

If you’re like our wash-dry-fold in Raleigh,NC you know that there’s nothing worse than dealing with static cling. Annoying and sometimes embarrassing, static can really give you an irritating issue come early fall and even into winter. Of course, there are store-bought static solutions you can add to your laundry wash, but those contain chemicals that may contaminate your indoor air and clothing. They can also lead to breathing problems. Luckily, there are alternatives. Below, our wash-dry-fold in Raleigh NC has a few tips on how to avoid static cling when at all possible.

Remove positive household charges, if possible:

• Synthetic clothing
• Toys
• Plastics

There are also a few building materials that cause a static problem. Vinyl is the worst. Any type of modern materials that are well-known for their susceptibility to electrostatic charges should be avoided as well, if you have a serious problem with static cling.

While it’s probably not feasible to remove each and every static charging item from your home, it is wise to avoid mixing household items that carry a charge with building materials that also have a strong charge. For example, a home with vinyl-siding, filled with plastic toys, synthetic carpeting, tons of electronics, and polyester clothing or drapery is sure to harbor more static electricity than a brick home with wooden floors scattered with natural-fiber accent rugs and closets filled with wool and cotton clothing.

While replacing your siding on a whim isn’t an option, it is possible to replace bedding and other materials in your home for wool, cotton, or linen items. Steer clear of rayon, acetate, acrylic, nylon, and polyester in order to naturally reduce static cling!
