How to Remove Static Cling Without Dryer Sheets

On a cold winter morning, as you’re in a hurry to get out of the door, there’s nothing more frustrating to discover your clothing clinging to your legs in an uncomfortable fashion. You don’t need to spend time running your clothes through the dryer with a dryer sheet. Instead, try one of several different methods to remove static cling.

Hairspray
Lotion
Spray bottle with water

Instructions

- 1
  Spray a fine mist of hairspray over your clothing and let it sit for about five minutes. Hold the nozzle at least 10 inches away to avoid leaving streaks behind.
- 2
  Moisturize the area of your body that the clothing will cover using lotion. The moisturizer helps to cut down on static electricity between your skin and the fabric.
- 3
  Humidify the air in your home, especially near your closet or other clothing storage areas. Fill a humidifier with distilled water and let it run through the night. When you get up in the morning, the air will be more conductive, which cuts down on the ability of fabric to hold onto static charges.
- 4
  Wear cotton clothing instead of more static-prone material like wool or polyester.
- 5
  Carry a small bottle with a fine mist setting. Fill it with water and spray it on your clothing when static cling becomes an issue.
