Jacquard is a luxurious fabric that is used to sew a wide variety of things, from beautiful clothes to bed linen. The fabric is predominantly natural, sometimes with a small amount of impurities. Therefore, it cannot become electrified in any way. Why does this happen? Let's figure it out.
Is it electrified or not?
The direct answer to this question is no, natural jacquard does not accumulate static charges and does not release them. But synthetic is quite capable of this.
The secret is that modern manufacturers have learned to fake real jacquard. You can create anything from polymer fiber, including imitating the special interweaving of threads and color abstractions for which this fabric is so famous.
Therefore, if you purchased a set of jacquard bed linen or a beautiful cardigan, for example, and the item collects static electricity, you can only sympathize. Fake. Unfortunately, It is very difficult to distinguish synthetics from natural materials. Therefore, when purchasing, we recommend focus on the manufacturer and reviews of its products.
Cotton or silk jacquard cannot be priced cheaply. A set of bed linen made from this fabric costs on average 5,000 rubles or more. Clothes made from this material are very expensive, so you won't see good deals on the market. Only in the boutique.
But what to do if you had to use counterfeit goods? Of course, get out of the situation and turn off the electricity.
Methods for removing static
Synthetics are considered to be an accumulator, and “getting rid” of the problem is not so easy. In modern realities, a person is literally surrounded by plastic and artificial materials, so he has to live with static. You can get rid of it by slightly changing your environment..
In order for jacquard fabric and other things to lose their ability to become electrified, you can:
- To the maximum moisturize indoor air, ventilate and clean with water. Dryness leads to the formation of unnecessary static and charges synthetic items with particles with a negative charge.
- Put on the windows indoor flowers. Yes, yes, they are capable of destroying unnecessary discharges in a room. Begonia, dracaena, ficus, lemon trees, for example, work well.
- "Destroy" electrical appliances around the apartment and do not concentrate their accumulation in one place.
- Wash the product at low speeds and using special antistatic agents. At home, we can recommend white vinegar.
- Place a piece of regular foil, which will take all the charges upon itself.
- When the jacquard linen was washed, don't take it out right away. First, take off your shoes and walk around barefoot for a while. This way you can unwind. When you take the item out of the car, shake it.
- Dry the product on the street.
- Reduce the amount of artificial materials in the home. For example, wood and cotton will help solve the problem perfectly. Products made from them are not cheap, but health is more important.
Remedies against electricity
Among the antistatic tricks it is worth noting:
- special bracelets;
- napkins;
- sprays.
Among the unusual ones we can recommend talc, baby powder, starch. Simply sprinkle onto a cloth and then shake off the excess in the bath.
A couple of tips

Important! If a “sharp” stain appears, be sure to wash it immediately. Old stains are very difficult to remove from jacquard fabric of any composition.
You can iron the item from the wrong sideso as not to accidentally damage the drawing.
