The 3 Best Anti-Static Sprays For Clothes

Kick static to the curb with this spray from Downy. This multi-purpose product not only removes static, but it also gets rid of wrinkles and odors. The best part is how simple it is to use: spray it on your clothes, give them a tug (and smooth them out), and hang them up.

The spray is safe on virtually all fabrics (so you can use it on more than just clothing, like tablecloths, sheets, and curtains), however, on fabrics which may water-spot (like silk and rayon), test a hidden area first to make sure that it’s safe. If fragrance bothers you, reviewers on Amazon say that this spray does have a scent, but luckily it’s not too overpowering.

What Amazon reviewers are saying: “I dont need to grab my iron anymore this takes care of static and light wrinkles in one spray. Perfect when on trips and need to refresh your clothes. I am very impressed with this product and the bottles are very large so will last a super long time.”

Get rid of static more naturally with this static cling remover from Static Schmatic. It’s made with just five ingredients — including distilled water, aloe vera, and glycerin — and it has no scent. This set comes with two bottles of static cling remover, each with 3 ounces of product.

Even though this pick doesn’t contain any harmful chemicals, it's still a good idea to test the product on a small, hidden section of fabric first, just to be safe.

What Amazon reviewers are saying: “I'm so glad I discovered Static Schmatic because it is 100% effective while having ZERO odor (I hate any perfumes, etc) and is 100% natural so I can even spray it on our clothes and hair! It's worth every dime and so easy to keep on hand and use in a pinch - there is nothing worse than taking off your coat to find your clothes sticking all over to you and your hair sticking straight up! I carry 1 bottle in my purse and leave one in our coat closet!”

If you’re looking for a product that can actually prevent the buildup of static electricity this anti-static spray from Static Guard is it. This spray claims to be safe to use on all fabrics (although, it's still a good idea to test it out on a small section first, just in case), and can even help to release stubborn pet hair from your clothes. About 80% of reviewers on Amazon give this spray five stars, so you know that you can count on it to get the job done. This three-pack comes with two 5.5-ounce sprays and one 1.4-ounce travel-sized spray, which is perfect to throw in your purse, backpack, or suitcase. Because this is designed to prevent static and not just get rid of it when it happens, this is a great choice if you need to keep the static away all day.

What Amazon reviewers are saying: “I love this stuff. My hair and my clothes tend to get a lot of static and if I spray a light layer of this it instantly goes away. I keep one at home and one at work.”
