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/static-and-polyester#post-72 Wed, 06 Feb 2008 02:01:15 +0000 samoya22 72@http://www.getridofthings.com/forums/ <p>The notice on the tag refers to the build up of fabric softener on the polyester. 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>
