Hang Dry

The best natural way to eliminate static in laundry is to hang

dry everything. Now that spring is approaching, it should be a

little easier for most to take advantage of drying clothes

outdoors or in front of an open window. When hung to dry,

clothes are no longer rubbing together to create static

electricity.

Whether hanging it outdoors or indoors, there are several

options. Laundry enthusiasts can build their own outdoor

clothesline, use a compact outdoor model that folds up (and

can be taken out of the ground) when not in use or dry indoors

using a large rack or a smaller model.

When hang drying isn’t an option and a dryer must be used,

there are still several natural methods for keeping static down.

2. Dry Synthetic Fabrics Separately


Synthetic fabrics like nylon and polyester are one of the main

culprits of static cling. When dried separately, garments made

from synthetic fabrics aren’t given the opportunity to charge up

all the other clothing. Consider pulling synthetic fabrics out of

the wash and hanging them on an indoor or outdoor rack

instead of throwing them in the dryer with everything else.

3. Reduce Drying Time

Another common cause of static in the laundry is over-drying.

When items are completely dry and no moisture remains, this

invites static electricity into the mix. Allow clothes to dry only

until they’re not wet anymore—tumbling around for excessive

amounts of time in the dry heat increases static and increases

energy costs.

4. Vinegar Fabric Softener

Diy Natural's homemade fabric softener is made with vinegar.

It actually serves double duty as fabric softener and static

reducer in the laundry. When used in the rinse cycle of the

wash, most users will see a reduction in static cling after

clothes go through the dryer. Even if planning to hang dry

items, there's no need to worry about them smelling like

vinegar. When items are completely dry the vinegar smell will

completely vanish.

5. Wool Dryer Balls

Wool dryer balls are an excellent alternative to fabric softeners

and dryer sheets. These little wool balls absorb moisture from

clothing in the dryer, maintaining a more humid environment

and, therefore, cutting down on static.

In addition to reducing static, they also reduce drying time and

fluff clothes. Diy Natural recommends using six or more in the

dryer for best results.

6. Vinegar in the Dryer


Using white vinegar in the dryer is another great trick for

eliminating static. Simply spray a clean washcloth, sock, pre-

cut piece of cloth or any other garment with vinegar. This item

is then tossed into the dryer with everything else. The vinegar

in the dryer will keep static down—and remember, the vinegar

smell will be gone once things are dry.

7. Soap Nuts

Soap nuts can be used as a green alternative to commercial

laundry detergents. They’re actually a type of berry, and can

be put in a muslin bag and tossed directly into the wash. (They

can also be boiled down to make a liquid laundry soap). They

already possess anti-static properties, so laundry that’s washed

with soap nuts doesn’t require any other anti-static remedy
