How to Clean Plastic Antistatic

Static electricity is the buildup of negatively charged ions on the surface of an object. Static discharge occurs when one material acts as a negative pole and the other as a positive; the discharge is the electrons jumping from one material to another. Static buildup is common in home electronics. An antistatic spray can be used for reducing the static charge of plastic and plastic fabrics. These sprays must be used in conjunction with an acrylic antistatic cleaning cloth designed for that purpose.
