Everything was so well thought out for the exit: a new dress, shoes, and jewelry... But while visiting, it turned out that the elegant dress was letting me down! No, it doesn’t press anywhere, it sticks! The skirt, which was flying, seemed to be magnetized to the legs. And I don’t have antistatic with me. So the hand reaches out to the fabric, trying to detach the hem from the tights. But you can correct the situation in a completely different way.
Simple ways
So, if you don’t have a special antistatic agent on hand, you can relieve static tension in other ways.
Water
In any situation you can use regular water. The procedure is extremely simple: wet your palms and run your wet hands over the fabric. You can process the hem of clothing or tights, or you can go through each product for greater efficiency.
Advice. A humidifier or a bathroom with high humidity helps a lot. Clothes are left in this room for 5–10 minutes. This will replace moisturizing with your hands.
You will notice the effectiveness of the method immediately. The dress will not stick as long as the fabric remains damp. Well, then you’ll have to retire again and repeat the procedure.
Soap
Soap succeeds in reducing the attraction of synthetic fibers to each other. Only it must be dry! Run it over the fabric from the wrong side or over the stockings.
Advice. Soap may leave white marks. Before rubbing with soap, check on a small area to see if they will be visible from the front of the product.
Preparing an antistatic solution
If the bottle of antistatic agent suddenly runs out, you can use other substances instead.
- Fabric softener. Adding it during washing will help reduce sticking. If things still attract, the effect should be strengthened. Apply a few drops of conditioner to your hands and then rub them over your clothes. You can also add it to water and spray it with a spray bottle.
- Hair conditioner. A similar effect can be achieved by using hair rinse. We proceed in the same way: a little balm on the palm, rub it, then wipe the skirt and stockings with it.
- Hand sanitizer - another drug that helps remove static electricity from things.
- Hair fixation spray, sprayed from the inside out, has also helped women out more than once. Be careful: to make the varnish invisible, spray it from a distance of at least 30 cm from the fabric.
Treating your feet
Applying these products to clothing is not the only way to combat skirt sticking. Sometimes the products are applied to the legs.
- Moisturizing cream, like many other substances, increases the moisture content of the fabric. You can choose any moisturizer to apply to the skin of your feet. Be careful: if you use too much, the cream will not be completely absorbed into the skin and will appear on your clothes.
- Body lotion Use in the same way as a moisturizer.
- Baby powder or talcum powder for skin the humidity will not increase, but the electrification of the fibers will be reduced.
You will definitely have some of these tools on hand. So you can handle sticking! Or maybe you have your own proven method?
