How to Reduce Static Cling in a Self-Service Dryer

There’s nothing worse than pulling your warm, fresh laundry out of the dryer only to find it sticking together with a shocking amount of static cling! Don’t worry—at mClean Laundry, we’ve got the tips and tricks to help you keep your clothes static-free while using our state-of-the-art Speed Queen self-service machines in Flat Rock and Rockwood. Whether you’re a self-service pro or trying out our laundromat for the first time, we’ll help you make laundry day a breeze.

What Causes Static Cling in the Dryer?

Static cling happens when clothes rub together in the dryer, creating an electric charge. Certain fabrics, like polyester and wool, are more prone to static buildup. Dry winter air can make it even worse, leaving your laundry feeling like a science experiment gone wrong!

How to Prevent Static Cling in Your Self-Service Laundry

Good news—there are plenty of easy ways to reduce static cling and keep your clothes fresh and comfortable. Try these tips next time you visit mClean Laundry for your self-service laundry needs in Downriver, Michigan:

• Use Dryer Sheets – These help coat fabrics with a softening agent that reduces static buildup. Toss one in with your load for a static-free finish.
• Try Wool Dryer Balls – An eco-friendly alternative, wool dryer balls help separate clothes and reduce static while also cutting down drying time.
• Avoid Over-Drying – Over-drying your laundry can increase static. Use the Speed Queen app to monitor your load and avoid excessive drying time.
• Add a Damp Washcloth – Throwing in a slightly damp washcloth during the last five minutes of drying can help reduce static.
• Sort Your Laundry – Drying synthetic fabrics separately from cottons can help prevent static buildup.
• Use Fabric Softener – Adding liquid fabric softener during the wash cycle helps combat static before the drying process even begins.
