How can you save time, space, and money in your home, office, or place of business?

Discovering new uses for products you already have is one way to cut down on homecare costs. One product that has many uses and solves your problems with static control is an anti-static spray. Whether you are looking for home day care supplies, homecare supplies, cleaning tips for pet hair, or a protection for your valuable technology, you can find multiple uses for anti-static spray.

How does anti-static spray work?

We all know what a pain static electricity can be. In fact, the embarrassment caused by static electricity can be worse than the tiny pain of a static electricity shock. So what is static electricity? Static electricity is simply the result of positive and negatively charged ions. Depending on the charge, these ions repel and attract each other.

Anti-static spray works by neutralizing the ions of an item such as clothes, hair, carpets and other items. It also works by attracting moisture out of the air. This increases the conductive properties of the material the product was sprayed on.

Cleaning with anti-static spray

Dusting is probably the least satisfying cleaning project. It isn’t the same as cleaning grease from a stove or scuff marks from a floor. Though no cleaning project is fun, at least you feel a sense of accomplishment when you clean something that is as noticeable as scuff marks. Unless you have mounds of dirt on your mantle, you aren’t going to see a huge difference. Yet, it has to be done.

Though anti-static spray is not going to prevent dust from coming back forever, it will keep it away longer. Spraying your anti-static spray on blinds, furniture, pictures, and TV screens can save you the hassle of having to constantly dust those items. Spraying periodically can actually mean a lot fewer dustings with a lot more time between dustings.

Cleaning tips for pet hair

In addition to dust, pet hair also uses static electricity to adhere to your clothes, furniture, and carpets. Even vacuuming can be ineffective against the bond between carpet and pet hair.

To remove pet hair from your carpet, just spray the carpet with your anti-static spray. Let your carpet sit for a little while until the static is gone. Than you can simply vacuum up the loose pet hair. If you have pet hair on your clothes, you can simply spray your clothes with “anti-static spray.” Let it sit a minute and then brush of the loose pet hair.

Protecting your electronics

Static electricity shocks are extremely dangerous to electronic equipment. In fact, static electricity shocks can actually travel from one computer to another that is connected by certain types of cable. Static electricity shocks are especially common during the dry winter months and it is critical that you protect your equipment during these times.

One way to protect your equipment is to spray anti-static spray on the carpeting around your computer, stereo, television sets, and other electronic equipment. Be careful when you are spraying, as anti-static spray is a liquid, you do not want to spray it directly on an item that should not be wet.

Cosmetic uses

The original use for anti-static spray was of course for use on your clothes. However, it also has a number of other cosmetic uses as well. In fact, many people already carry anti-static spray as a solution for all of their problems with static control.

Anti-static spray can also be effective in taming flyaway hair. All you have to do is spray a little of the product on your comb or brush. Than just brush or comb your hair as usual. You can also spray the inside of a hat or the outside of clothes that are in contact with your hair.
