Say Goodbye to Static Cling: 7 Ways to Stop the Shocks in Your Laundry
Clean Right Laundromat – Gainesville, GA

Tired of your clothes sticking together or giving you a little zap when you pull them out of the dryer? Static cling can be frustrating, especially in cooler, drier weather. At Clean Right Laundromat, we believe your laundry experience should be smooth—literally. Here are seven smart ways to prevent static cling in your laundry.

1. Don’t Over-Dry Your Clothes

Drying your clothes too long removes too much moisture, which increases static buildup. Our state-of-the-art Huebsch Galaxy Touch dryers offer precise settings to help prevent overdrying and preserve fabric quality.

2. Use Dryer Sheets or Fabric Softener

Dryer sheets and liquid fabric softeners help reduce static by coating fabrics with moisture-retaining chemicals. At Clean Right Laundromat, we offer softener options when you use our wash and fold service!

3. Separate Synthetic Fabrics

Nylon, polyester, and other synthetic materials tend to generate the most static. Try drying them separately from natural fibers like cotton to reduce static buildup.

4. Try Wool Dryer Balls

Wool dryer balls are a natural alternative to dryer sheets. They help reduce friction, speed up drying time, and absorb moisture—keeping static to a minimum.

5. Add a Damp Washcloth

Throwing a slightly damp washcloth into the dryer for the last 10 minutes can introduce a touch of moisture to counteract static electricity.

6. Air Dry When Possible

Hang-drying synthetic items like workout clothes or lingerie can help avoid static altogether.

7. Use Clean Right’s Sanowash Ozone System

Our Sanowash Ozone system deep-cleans and sanitizes your clothes without harsh chemicals—helping fabrics stay softer and reducing the chance of static in the first place.
