Cold weather and low humidity can cause you to walk around the house getting shocked by static electricity, especially from your carpets. You can easily and inexpensively remove the charge from the carpets with this simple home remedy. We use ultra downy clean breeze, but any good quality fabric softener will work fine. This also makes a great 'faux-febreez' to help make your home smelling fresh & clean. Other great things this spray does: Spray some on a dry paper towel, and toss it in the dryer! It's more economical than dryer sheets,

24 ounces (change servings and units)

Ingredients

1/2 cup liquid fabric softener (4 oz)
2 1/2 cups water (20 oz)

Directions

1
To a 24 oz or larger spray bottle, mix the 1 part liquid fabric softener to 5 parts water. Shake, then lightly spray over the carpet and allow to dry. (Be sure and test a small inconspicuous area first to be sure it won't stain).
2
Repeat about every 2-3 months, or when the carpet begins shocking people again.

This is also a great product to spray on carpets or rugs if you have cats and dogs...makes vacuuming up pet hair so much easier. And, if you spray it onto furniture, it takes away that 'doggy' smell. And...yes, there's more...if you find synthetic clothing becoming 'clingy', a quick spray will have things back to normal. and...it's way, way cheaper than anit-static sprays. And, I almost forgot, if you find cotton clothing hard to iron, a quick squirt of this will help release creases, and it smells soooo good.
