I wish I had one hot air vent in front of which i could do this. I would.
Oh, and hahahaha I take my clothes off in front of a mirror.

Re: [BlindHandyMan] static

[spiro]

Really? Thanks.
But as I think of humidifers I wonder how do we keep mold, or corrosion 
out of the system?
Of course we have tin ducts and I don't want moisture sitting in there, or 
blowing mold and other organisms all over the place.

Re: [BlindHandyMan] static

[Betsy Whitney, Dolphin Press]

Aloha,
When I visit my parents in Reno, Nevada during 
this time of year, it is so dry and the static 
electricity is so bad that the shocks can 
actually be painful. I learned that if I use 
fabric softener or dryer sheets when I launder my 
clothes, it really helps. Also, I read a handy 
hint somewhere years ago that suggested putting a 
tiny gold safety pin in the seam of your clothing and it really helps.

Re: [BlindHandyMan] static

[Max Robinson]

In general it's caused by low humidity.  It happens a lot up north in the 
winter and on the colder days here in Kentucky.  I know it's unusual in east 
Texas because it is rare for the humidity there to be low.

Regards.

Re: [BlindHandyMan] static

[William Stephan]

Yeah, if you look at
Www.climate-zone.com
You can read a chart that lists all sorts of things including average relative 
humidity by the month.  It's amazing how low it is in December January and 
february as compared to other months of the year.

I really can't say why your clothes are crackling upon removal, I suppose it
may be something to do with whom you're with while removing them!

Any way, the static increases during the winter because of a lack of
moisture in the air.  If you find this intolerable -- or even just a bit
annoying -- grab a pan, fill it about¾ full with water and place near a
source of heat (register, radiator, etc).  The water in the pan will
evaporate and alleviate the dryness and the static.  Be sure to keep the pan
filled with water, it doesn't need to be full but just make sure there is
some water in it.

You don't have enough moisture in the air.  A humidifier will help.  Preferably 
a hole house humidifier.  They make them that install in the plenum of your 
forced air furnace.

  Hi,
  Dale mentioned there's been alot of static around here lately.
  Here too.
  What's up with that?
  I would love to know what causes a rise in static.
  We have a new furnace, andit is certainly more efficient, and things are
