How to prepare antistatic agent for clothes at home?

Synthetic fabric has long been part of our lives, and we can no longer imagine doing without these durable and attractive products. There is just one small inconvenience - static electricity, which is inevitable when wearing synthetic wardrobe items. Although worries about this have been reduced to zero, because in modern conditions it is easy to buy or prepare an antistatic agent for clothes at home. And then sparks and crackles will forever be a thing of the past.

Let's deal with antistatic agents

What kind of miracle remedy is this that allows you to cope with the problem of electrified clothing? Antistatic is a chemical composition, after the use of which things do not stick to the feet and do not cause a small current discharge. There are different types of antistatic agents for clothing, but spray is considered the most effective. It's easy to use: spray directly onto clothes and eliminate inconvenience.

Sprays, in turn, also have subtypes:

• antistatic agent with the addition of ethyl alcohol;
• water-based antistatic agent.

The first is different in that it evaporates from clothing literally in a matter of minutes.But it still has one significant drawback: an unpleasant toxic odor, which also lasts a long time. When using it, it is better to open the window and close it only after completing the entire procedure. After using an antistatic agent with ethyl alcohol, clothes must be washed many times more thoroughly.

Advice

We must not forget that such a spray can cause an allergic reaction. If you notice its appearance, immediately stop using it. An excellent replacement would be a paste that dissolves in water or a mouthwash.

Currently, air conditioners and fabric softeners with the addition of an antistatic agent are available, this allows you to solve a pressing issue even during washing.

As for water-based antistatic, it is much safer and only in rare cases causes an allergic reaction when it gets on the skin, because it disappears from the surface of clothing only over time.

Replacing store-bought antistatic agent

A commercial antistatic agent is an excellent solution. But there are a lot of folk remedies. And to decide which is better, you should try both, and then compare and choose.

There are different methods for preparing antistatic agents, here are some of the most common.

Method one. Simple and cheap

We will use regular vinegar. By adding it while rinsing clothes, you can rid the material of the accumulation of static electricity. The advantage of vinegar is that it removes soap residue. And if you mix it with soda (6:1) and add half a cup of this mixture, the fabric will become soft and fragrant.

Method two, creating an air conditioner effect

To prepare an antistatic agent in this way, you will need:

• hair conditioner;
• vinegar;
• water .

The ratio of the above components is 2:3:6.

Half a glass of this solution will work wonders and rid things of unnecessary electricity.

Method three - using table salt

1 teaspoon of salt added to 10 liters of water will be an excellent replacement for a store-bought antistatic agent.

Method four - cool lemon water

Using it for rinsing, you can rid your favorite things of electricity.

Method five - solution based on fabric softener

A few spoons of softener are added to a glass of water, the resulting mixture is thoroughly stirred and poured into a spray bottle. By spraying the resulting product directly onto your clothes, you will solve the problem with electric discharges and cracking. Carpets can also be treated this way.

Tips to follow

In addition to the methods listed above, there are also little secrets for every day.

• Tights or stockings rub against the skirt and dress and cause a characteristic crackling sound. It’s easy to avoid this, just apply regular hand cream to your feet. It forms a film on the feet, which reduces friction. In such a situation, you can also use a piece of soap: it will be enough to run it along the tights or the inside of the skirt.
• A simple remedy that every girl knows about is water. By smoothing the skirt with wet hands, you can remove the electrification. The only negative is that this effect does not last long.
• Quite extravagant is the complete rejection of synthetics: no products made from this fabric - no problem. Natural fabrics such as silk, linen, and cotton do not accumulate discharge. You can give preference to them.
• Well, if you can’t give up completely, you can try combinations of wardrobe items made from natural and synthetic fabrics.

Most girls have already chosen the most effective means and solved the problem with static electricity.
