Static and Your Carpet

Static electricity happens to most of us during the winter months. The dry conditions and indoor heating promote this phenomenon and it can be irritating. Thankfully there are ways to prevent and manage carpet static electricity no matter where you live.

A humidifier can help control the moisture setting in your environment. Dry conditions not only create static electricity for your carpet but they also can dry out carpet pile. This, in turn, will cause the carpet pile to become brittle and break.

You also don't want too much moisture either. Too much water or high humidity can cause ideal conditions for mould to grow. A good humidifier will help control the conditions of the room to maximize your comfort.

If you have a small area with carpet you may not want to invest in a humidifier. There are simple tricks that may help. For instance, after a shower placing your towel on a door to dry can eliminate dry conditions. It will also help dry your towels faster if you put them in a room with a dry environment.

During the year it is important to give your carpets annual steam cleaning. This process not only cleans carpets but it also helps recondition and revitalize carpet pile. This, in turn, helps prevent a problem with static electricity.
