I wonder if something like fairy liquid in with water every so often might
help?

Does anyone know of a spray or something to stop static. We have a swivel
chair, one of those well padded Executive sort in fake leather, probably
pvc
of some kind, and it seems whatever clothing I wear, when I've been
sitting
in it a while and get up the first large chunk of metal I touch gives me
a
shock,a and its so loud people can hear it across the room it even goes
through painted surfaces.
The other thing which is causing it is a cushion which seems to be
filled
by a kind of fibrous material often used in Duvets, which also crackle as
you take the covers off of course so must be prone. Now I know all about
negative and positive ions and how the imbalance causes a charge etc, but
short of soaking everything in slightly saline water, I really do need to
try to cut it down. I myself don't care, but some of the more delicate
people swear its faulty wiring or something which it is not.

In the interests of DIY the most reasonable cheap one is a trace of
glycerine in water to make things slightly less perfect insulators.
