WHAT IS STATIC ELECTRICITY?
Static is generated by movement or friction between two surfaces. It is a normal daily occurrence. Friction, rubbing, wiping, can all cause static build up.
HOW CAN WE RECOGNISE STATIC BUILD UP?
Static causes uncomfortable and even annoying problems such as clinging, bunching, sparking, dust attraction, and unpleasant shocks when touching objects.
WHAT IS STATIQUE?
Statique is an anti-static spray which prevents static build up on fabrics. It is easy to use - just spray onto trouble spots:
Clothing
Spray directly onto clinging clothes, pants, dresses, shirts, socks, sweaters. It is best sprayed on the inside of the garment, and only a light mist is required. For panty-hose and lingerie spray on the outside.
Clothes Dryer
Spray into the clothes dryer - about 8 sprays. This will stop items clinging together and sparking when removed.
Final rinse
For washable items, three tablespoons in just enough water to cover a shirt, pants or skirt. This is particularly useful for highly static fabrics such as 100% polyester.
Carpets
Spray onto carpets to prevent zaps from door handles and other objects.
At Home
TV screens, plastics, furniture, Venetian blinds, spray onto your cleaning cloth to stop dust attraction.
Car
Spray onto car seats and carpet to stop sparking as you alight from the vehicle.
Aircraft
Take a small bottle of Statique with you. The static cling to fabrics on aircraft can be really embarrassing - On long flights the humidity gets as low as 5%, causing very high static charges.
In your bag
Sometimes it will take a few hours for static to start building up on your outfit. Keep a 50ml size in your bag just in case.
HOW LONG DOES STATIQUE LAST?
Statique will be effective on your fabrics until the next wash or dry cleaning. On carpets and furnishings, you may need to reapply once a month.
CAN IT BE USED ON ANY FABRIC?
Statique can be used safely on most fabrics. Always test first if unsure. Statique may leave a watermark on shiny, glossy, satins and silks (similar to a spray starch). It is best to spray a very fine mist on the inside, or if washable use a final rinse with Statique added. Alternatively, you may spray undergarments or hosiery instead. Some gold or metallic fabrics may not be compatible.
