how to remove the static from my fleecy bathrobe?

[DRM]

.....like the short lengths of chain that people used to have on their cars.....

Alternatively, put your bathrobe on and grab the bath tap (which is probably earthed).

Or read this.....

The length of chain does work, electric pedestrian pallet trucks are very good at storing static when used on painted floors, it’s quite funny when someone gets a belt off it then tries to claim it’s faulty, they don’t believe you when you say it’s because some bright spark decided to paint the floor!

Google suggests slathering yourself in body lotion. I would rather stick my fingers in a socket.

Buy one made of cotton instead

I should say so...

Polyester fleece indeed. Harrumph.

I've heard that fabric conditioner help stop static electricity.

I'm afraid that silk trumps cotton.

I accidentally put a merino baselayer with the rest of the wash into the tumble dryer last week. You wouldn't believe how much crackling it made as I peeled my socks away from it. So, my advice (given free of charge) is never do that.

Thanks for the advice guys. Awesome as usual.

After posting, I gave it a good shake which got rid of the static... for now!

Go outside, take it off, and do a snow angel. That should short it out.

Mostly melted ... I mean

Where do you hang it?

On the back of the door usually... over another polyester fleecy robe which also gets very staticky. I think it could be wearing it over a fleece top that's generating the charge... I need to experiment! I might be able to power a transistor radio or something💡

Ah, i believe this is advising that smoking a pipe and wearing brogues with your pyjamas will eliminate the static problem.

*Check the voltage you are putting out with a multi meter. If it's over 1 volt check the ampage you're putting out. Touching anything electronic could damage it.

Have you tried hanging it on the Bathroom towel rail and seeing if that makes a difference?

there isn't one.

So, after all that there isn't actually a bathrobe.

my polyester fleece bathrobe is full of static.

I take it off and my arm hairs are all on end.
There's couple of tiny bits of foil stuck to it.
I can pull them off but letting go within a couple of inches, they go straight back to the fabric (quite fun in the short term).

It wasn't like this before i washed it


edit... should i ask my downstairs neighbours?

Wear a foil shower cap

technically, yes... but mostly worn as a housecoat in the winter.
