Polyester Satic

[djtdjt]

Got a nice soft polyester dressing gown, massive problem with static shocks! any ideas how to stop it, or shall I go back to the old towelling type gown?

This page deals with 'static cling', rather than 'static shocks' but it's equally applicable:

Just wash it and make sure that there's fabric conditioner in the rinse. That'll cure it.

Dust it with talcum powder and shake out. That should solve the problem

A quick spritz with a spray of water generally breaks the static temporarily.
