Fabric softeners that are used in the rinse cycle of the washer lubricate fabrics with chemicals that make them feel silkier and create less friction to the touch. Dryer sheets emit the same substances, activated by the heat of the dryer, to coat the surfaces of the fabrics. Dryer sheets are more effective than fabric softeners in reducing static cling, because they work where the electrostatic problems are created. These non-woven fabric sheets are coated with a liquid surfactant that is activated by heat. Reusable dryer balls are also a great option to reduce static cling in clothing. Photo: Anti-static plastic = fantastic! Here's one way that chemical additives can make plastics anti-static. In this case, the additive is made of polar molecules (ones with uneven electric charge, so they have positive and negative ends). 1) These molecules (shown here in red) migrate to the surface of the plastic with their negative ends pointing out. 2) Water in the atmosphere (H 2O, shown in blue) also has polar molecules, whose positive ends are attracted to the negative ends of the additive. 3) The moisture forms a thin, electrically conducting film that acts as an anti-static coating.Run a wire clothes hanger or piece of aluminum foil between the clinging areas.
