    There are static guard sprays and fabric softeners you can use.

    If you're already wearing the clothes that suffer from static cling, wet your hands slightly and brush them over the surface of your clothing. Or You can also simply take a dryer sheet and rub it on the dress if you can not wash it at the time.

    You can also put a half cup of vinegar in with the laundry soap or when it is in the rinse cycle.

    While doing laundry, separate the synthetic fabrics, especially nylon, from the natural fabrics when putting clothes into the dryer. A load of all-natural fabrics, like cotton, will rarely develop static.

    Remove your clothes from the dryer when they are just barely dry; overdrying is the No. 1 cause of static.

    If you still notice static when you remove the clothes from the dryer, dampen your hands slightly before folding the laundry.

    For really stubborn clothing--like nylon slips that bunch up underneath your skirt--rub a fabric-softener sheet on the surface of the fabric. This coats it with a waxy antistatic film.
