Static electrostatic is the accumulation of charge on the surface of an object, which is the result of the imbalance between positive and negative charges between two objects. Static electricity seems inevitable, especially in the dry winter, but removing static electricity is much easier than you think. Once you understand how static electricity is generated and transferred, you can take some steps to reduce the initial static electricity and control how it transfers to your body, thereby reducing the shocks on each touch.
Method 1: Remove static electricity in the home
, use a humidifier. When the air is dry, static electricity is more active, especially in winter, when people keep warm indoors, which reduces the air humidity. Use a humidifier to increase humidity in your home and workplace. The moisture in the air helps reduce static electricity accumulation.
- Planting plants around a house or workplace can also help increase humidity.
- Boiling water on the stove is a simple humidifier. Adding spices such as cinnamon or citrus peel to the water will not only increase the humidity of the air, but will also emit a very pleasant smell.
. Carpets are carpets with antistatic chemicals. Most carpet retailers or carpet companies offer carpet spray care services. There are also some carpets that are specially made of anti-static materials. Spray a small amount of anti-static spray on the carpet and wait until it is completely dry before use. This will greatly reduce the amount of static electricity you feel when walking on the carpet.
- If you want to make anti-static spray at home, pour a bottle of softener into a water-containing spray bottle, shake it well and spray it gently on the carpet.
. Wipe the interior decoration with a dry clothes piece. Wipe upholstered furniture or car seats with dry clothes pieces to reduce static electricity accumulation on these surfaces. Dryer sheets can help neutralize charges.
- You can also try spraying some anti-static spray in these places.
Method 2: Remove static electricity from the body
, keep the skin moist. Apply lotion after bathing and before putting on clothes, or apply hand cream several times a day.
- Dry skin is prone to static electricity, so lotion and lotion help prevent static electricity from accumulating on the skin.
. Change clothes. Do not wear polyester , nylon and other synthetic fiber clothing, and change to cotton and other natural fiber clothing that is not easy to cause static electricity.
- If you can still feel static electricity after changing clothes, you can wipe the clothes with a dry coat piece or spray a little hairspray.
. Wear shoes that can dissipate static electricity. leather sole shoes have a good effect of reducing electric shock, while rubber sole will accumulate and generate static electricity.
- Try on different shoes and see which shoes are the least likely to cause electric shock. If possible, walk barefoot at home.
- Some electronics industry practitioners wear shoes are woven from conductive wires, which releases static electricity when walking.
Method 3: Prevent static electricity generated during laundry
1. Add baking soda when washing clothes. Add ¼ cup of baking soda to the clothing before starting the washing. Baking soda forms a barrier between positive and negative charges, preventing accumulation and static electricity.
- The washing machine has different capacity, and the baking soda that needs to be added is also different. Add about ½ cup of baking soda to a large-capacity washing machine, and 1 to 2 spoons to a small-capacity washing machine.
- baking soda is also considered as water softening agent and softening agent.
. Add vinegar when washing clothes. When the washing machine enters the rinsing program, pause first, pour in ¼ cup of distilled white vinegar, then restart the washing machine and continue rinsing.
- Vinegar can be used as a softener or as an electrostatic eliminator.
. Put a wet towel in the dryer. In the last 10 minutes of the drying program, turn the dryer to a minimum temperature and place a wet towel in the dryer, and let the dryer continue to complete the remaining procedure.
- Wet towels help increase moisture in the air and prevent charge from accumulating in the dryer.
. Shake your clothes. After drying clothes with a dryer, take them out and shake them to prevent static electricity.
- Or hang clothes on a clothesline to dry, it can also reduce static electricity.
Method 4: Quick solution
. Pin the seat belt on the clothes. Pin the safety pin on the trouser seam or the back collar of the shirt. The metal part of the pin releases charge accumulated in the clothing, preventing electrostatic adsorption and electric shock.
- Pin the pin in the seam of the pants not only covers the pin, but also reduces static electricity.
. Hang clothes with metal clothes hangers. Use a metal hanger to brush across the front or back of the clothes, or hang the clothes with a metal hanger, reducing the charge by transferring the charge on the clothes to the metal hanger.
. Carry some metal items with you. carries some metal items, such as coins, thimbles or keychains. Before the skin touches grounded metal surfaces, touch them with any metal object.
- This is also called static electricity. The charge is transferred to a metal object, so no charge accumulates on the body.
