How to Remove Static From a Microfiber Couch

Certain materials are especially susceptible to static electricity. Frequently known as just static, this force occurs when the atoms that make up materials lose their electricity to other materials. When a person has extra electricity, he may experience a shock when touching materials such as microfiber, carpet or a door knob. In addition to this, static can cause materials to stick together (static cling), as is the case when a microfiber couch comes into contact with hair, lint or animal fur. Fortunately, removing the static is simple.
