Are you really spraying yourself with static guard? </p> http://www.getridofthings.com/forums/topic/static-and-polyester#post-350 Sat, 28 Jun 2008 16:25:45 +0000 endobiont 350@http://www.getridofthings.com/forums/ <p>My boyfriend sprays all of his polyester/nylon club shirts (and his hair, for that matter) with "Static Guard". It smells like glue, but if you sort of air it out for a minute, it's just fine! </p> http://www.getridofthings.com/forums/topic/im-so-sick-of-getting-shocked-every-two-seconds#post-183 Tue, 20 May 2008 10:28:16 +0000 friskisims4 183@http://www.getridofthings.com/forums/ <p>Don't feel bad because it seems that i shock people all day long and i don't work at a laundrymat.

Polyester is meant to wick moisture from the skin's surface, allowing you to feel cooler and less stuffy over long periods of time: hence the popularity of polyester in uniforms. However, using fabric softener will not destroy polyester; the oils found in fabric softener simply negate the "wicking" action of the fabric, but reduce static and make them feel softer.</p> <p>Hope this helps. </p> http://www.getridofthings.com/forums/topic/static-and-polyester#post-71 Tue, 05 Feb 2008 13:56:35 +0000 Trouty 71@http://www.getridofthings.com/forums/ <p>I have a uniform shirt that I must wear and it's polyester. On the washing care label it says I can't use fabric softener. Why? What would happen to the fabric if I do use it to help reduce static cling? </p> http://www.getridofthings.com/forums/topic/open-any-drain#post-67 Thu, 31 Jan 2008 14:46:38 +0000 JoeZuke 67@http://www.getridofthings.com/forums/ <p>Have been using a great product, Plumb-Away, to open all the drains around my home. It doesn't matter what type of drain--even toilets. Literally the drain is opened in about 1 second. The best part is the not only is it environmentally friendly (no harsh chemicals, or poisons), but works better and is cheaper to use. And, one can will open 8 or more drains. I found it at Amazon.com, QVC.com, and other regular type stores like Home Depot. </p>
