Humidifiers: A Shockingly Simple Solution to Static

Sometimes, you feel a static shock when you touch a doorknob in the house. Technically, it is what we call static electricity. Cold and dry air causes this experience. However, do you know that you can prevent static electricity if you have a humidifier at home?

As fall and winter approach, the weather begins to change, causing the air to go from being humid to dry. And with the dry air comes the dreaded static electricity. Static electricity is more problematic than you may think. You know it’s painful and wreaks havoc on your hair and clothing, but it can also cause damage to your computers and other electronics.

When the air is dry, basic interactions with other people – such as shaking hands, hugging your kids, and simply touching – can startle and hurt because of static shock. This is because as you move about, you create friction that creates a charge.  When you touch another person, that charge causes a painful static shock.  What can you do to prevent that awful shock (other than still all day, or withhold affection from…everyone)?  

Shocks aren’t the only pain associated with winter static. Your computers and other electronics can also fall victim to static shock.  On a daily basis, most of us use some sort of electronic device. The static charge we build up as we move through our homes and offices can be passed to our electronics just as easily as we pass the charge to other people.  While the shock is painful to people, it can actually damage and even destroy sensitive electronics.  It is, after all, an electric shock.  

How to Get Rid of Static Electicity

There are ways to avoid painful static cling. Wearing rubber shoes, polyester, and wool clothing results to consistent shocks. So, you better avoid wearing these types of fabric. Choose those that have low static materials, such as cotton. You can also go for the leather-made shoes or just go barefoot inside the house.

But, what if it is winter? Would you go barefooted? You would hardly do that.

With that, another way is to keep your home humid. If the level of humidity inside the house is higher the electric cling that we feel is lessened. Because the moist or water elements in the air collapse the static charges that roam inside the house.

Nonetheless, the humidity inside the house should be measured to get the exact amount of moisture. It should not go lower or higher than the ideal RH which is 30% to 55%. It can cause unwanted moist if the level goes higher than 55%. And, lower than 30% level can cause non stop static shocks.
