How do you remove static from clothes?

To remove static from clothes, add a fabric softener sheet to loads of clothes in the dryer, swipe a metal hanger over clothes with extra static and spray clingy clothes with hairspray or a solution of fabric softener and water. This process takes only minutes and requires dryer sheets, hangers, hairspray and fabric softener.

1. Use dryer sheets

   Throw a fabric softener sheet into the dryer along with wet clothes at the beginning of the cycle. Alternatively, throw a damp washcloth into the dryer for the final 10 minutes of the cycle.

2. Utilize metal hangers

   Brush clothes with a metal hanger to neutralize the electric charge.

3. Spray clothes with hairspray

   For clothes that are clinging to the body because of static electricity, spray affected areas with hairspray or a mixture of fabric softener and water.
