How do I control static electricity in my house?


Recommended Posts

This house is really dry, and I am guessing that is why we have a real problem with static electricity. It is so bad that I can't even hug or kiss my girls at night without giving them a shock. If the lights are out, you can actually see flashes of light when I touch my kids or when the move around under the covers. It is worst in my dd's room. I have tried humidifiers, but they don't seem to be working. Is there anything else that could cause this or anything I can do to stop it?

Not sure about the house (sounds like you could have cool science experiments :) but if you walk barefoot in the house, that will help with the touching as your shoes conduct electricity. Also I think I remember reading that wearing clothes of natural fibers (cotton or linen vs. polyester) may help.
