To prevent or get rid of static electricity try some of the following advice:
1) Apply moisturizer to your body before you get dressed
Try to apply lotion to your legs or any other part of your body that experiences static cling. Please be sure to allow the moisturizer to be completely soaked in before dressing. (If your skin is greasy, it may leave a stain!

2) Use a metal hanger or a safety pin in the care label
Run a metal hanger on the surface and inside any clothing article. This will reduce the electrical charge by transferring the electron charges on the clothes to the metal hanger. A safety pin in the care label will also do the trick.
