Re: Carpet Static

Spray the carpet with some fabric softner mixed in water.

She needs to drag a fishing line as you do. It drains static.

Get a quaternary ammonium compound. They are used in fabric softeners and hair conditioners. The positive charge imparts antistatic properties.

Another trick is to rub a bar of soap all over your carpet.

Thanks guys, I'll pass the info on. I was interested in your humidifier comment. I've never used one and have no knowledge of them but I know an elderly person that does and I doubt they would clean it properly- if at all. I could give it a check over if I knew what to look for or is it something I would get a company in to do?

I reckon it's _you_ that has the fishing line - no static in your house I'll bet!

I'm wondering if the dirt that was in it kept it anti-static, maybe I should walk through the cow fields and stream before I go visiting, in the name of science of course.

Were you the one with the fishing line in the dating section at Walmart? If that was you, Marcey and I are JUST FRIENDS!!! lololol

If she had called a reputable cleaner, he would have spread old tea leaves, rolled them, and picked them up with a carpet sweeper. In 45 years no customer of mine has had static.

Ah I remember! Marcia was the bag lady and you were showing her your Whink.

You've pinched Mr B's method

You're older than I thought.
