Prevent Static Electricity and Shocks in the Home With a Humidifier

How to Avoid Static Shock

Get Rid of Static Electricity in the Home

There is one fun thing you can do with static electricity. You can rub a balloon on your head and make your hair stand up.

Outside of that, static electricity is painful. The cause is your dry indoor air.

Without any moisture, an electrical charge can build up resulting in static electricity in the home.

It's more common for these dry conditions to take place in the fall and winter. Our central heating systems will dry out the air dropping the relative humidity in our homes.

So how do you get rid of static electricity?
