That’s synapses connecting </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/eliminating-static-cling-in-silk#post-2098925 Thu, 13 Feb 2020 22:19:22 +0000 nuancedream 2098925@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Negatively charged ions cause static cling with silk. Glide a wire hanger between the fabric and your body and that should stop the static cling. It also works with a safety pin or a metal thimble. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/eliminating-static-cling-in-silk#post-2098900 Thu, 13 Feb 2020 18:07:51 +0000 April 2098900@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The fumes get to me even more than the scent.&nbsp; They linger and make it hard to breathe, both on the garment and in the room you sprayed it in. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/eliminating-static-cling-in-silk#post-2098896 Thu, 13 Feb 2020 17:50:32 +0000 Lucy 2098896@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Great question! I don't understand why Static Guard seems to be the only anti-static spray available. It smells awful! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/eliminating-static-cling-in-silk#post-2098895 Thu, 13 Feb 2020 17:36:36 +0000 kkards 2098895@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>i've used the bounce sheet pretty successfully&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/eliminating-static-cling-in-silk#post-2098885 Thu, 13 Feb 2020 16:12:50 +0000 Lesley 2098885@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I have to add that the lotion trick works even if you're wearing tights! Just get a little hand cream and smooth it over the tights. It works like a charm. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/eliminating-static-cling-in-silk#post-2098883 Thu, 13 Feb 2020 16:00:53 +0000 Marilyn 2098883@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You can also brush a Bounce sheet over the inside.&nbsp; Works for your hair too!&nbsp; Don't remember where I read this but I now keep a Bounce sheet in my purse for static hair emergencies.....like when trying on clothes.&nbsp; It doesn't leave any residue and zaps the static. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/eliminating-static-cling-in-silk#post-2098878 Thu, 13 Feb 2020 15:15:38 +0000 April 2098878@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Interesting.&nbsp; A safety pin because its weight pulls the garment away from the body, or because the metal of the pin does something to the static?</p> <p>And hairspray -- no chance it would stain a silk garment? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/eliminating-static-cling-in-silk#post-2098875 Thu, 13 Feb 2020 15:02:13 +0000 Angie 2098875@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>What, <b>Suntiger</b> said.&nbsp;</p> <p>Try putting a safety pin on the inside too.

I don't think it's been as bad since I use dryer balls, but can report back when its warm enough for silk. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/eliminating-static-cling-in-silk#post-2098853 Thu, 13 Feb 2020 12:15:10 +0000 April 2098853@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I associate static cling with synthetics, but I notice that silk tops and pants suffer from it too.</p> <p>Static Guard works great but the fumes and aroma of it are unpleasant.</p> <p>Anyone have other tricks for silk?&nbsp;&nbsp; </p>
