Ask ACI: Preventing Static Cling

Share

Q. How can I prevent static cling in my clothes? 

A. Static cling occurs when clothes continuously rub together in a dryer. The friction generates static electricity. You can control static at the onset by using laundry products that are specially-formulated for reducing static cling. Such products penetrate deep into the fibers of clothes to reduce the friction that causes static. Use dryer sheets to help battle static in the dryer.
