Antistatic agents no relation static electricity
Cause and prevention
In clothing, static cling occurs from static electricity.  An electrostatic charge builds up on clothes due to the triboelectric effect when pieces of fabric rub against each other, as happens particularly in a clothes dryer.  The separate positive and negatively charged surfaces attract each other.  It is especially noticeable when humidity is low, allowing static electricity to build up.  Certain substances can reduce static cling and are often included in fabric softener and dryer sheets.  Antistatic agents, which make the surfaces slightly conductive, can be used on fabrics.
