| | Is there an easy way I could make my own anti-static carpet spray? The
| | commercial product is often hard to find. Of course, pure water works
| for a
| | short time, enough to repair one computer. I've tried adding fabric
| | softener but it's too strongly scented to use this way.
| |
| |
| I've used a teaspoon of salt in quart of warm water for anti-static
| carpet spray. Sprayed it with a plant mister. It works surprisingly
| well.
|
| How long does it last? Does it do any good in dry weather (when it's needed
| most)?
|
| If it will pick up any moisture from the air, it should stay conductive.
| Hmmm... Calcium chloride?

I used regular table salt (NaCl). Seems to hold up fine with regular
vacuuming but you'll need to reapply after steam cleaning or such.
It works well even in low humidity.
