does anyone actively use one of these during the winter, and if so, does it vastly reduce the static electricity that you encounter

i just took my new Columbia comforter off my bed and my sheets to wash them

holy shit.

i think my brain fried a little.

we use them at work so the snakes dont shrivel up
then again we use them year round....i dont really see a difference but then again there are no carpets in there

i have this same static electricity problem. every time my dog comes anywhere near me he shocks both of us. i have considered a humidifier, but I am lazy

i would get one if i knew it would work

but damn if it only reduces the shocks by like 50% it wont be worth it

junk pisses me off

i had one cause my ex-gf needed it for her allergies or some shit (i don't really know exactly, it was just one part of about $350 worth of anti-allergy upgrades i had to make to my room)

i liked it cause my nose wasn't all dry when i woke up in the morning after running the heat a lot

yea i have read some online reviews, but i wanted to get a TWW perspective

if you have your laundry room in a central location you can get one of those things that vents your hot dryer air into a bowl of water and warms and humidifies your place. plus your house smells like clean linen

meh

im leaving here in April anyway

i just wanna know if these humidifiers will stop my bed comforter from generating 1.21 jigawatts of static shock from just taking it off the bed

sew yourself some dryer sheet pj's

A housekeeper I hired one time sprayed diluted Downy out of a mist bottle on the carpets. She told me that if you mist your carpets every once in a while it will reduce static and keep your place smelling fresh.

i should have titled the thread "anything but humidifiers"

1/22/2009 6:05:52 PM

whatever you do, don't combat the problem with a dehumidifier

1/22/2009 6:10:58 PM

let em fight it out like steven wright

1/22/2009 6:13:01 PM

permanently ground yourself
