Wash the garments in the usual manner and afterwards rinse them in a solution of the product selected, according to the instructions on the container. Some people accumulate more static than others; in this case modify the amount to suit your static tendencies.

An anti-static dry cleaning detergent, such as Buckeye Clean Charge, is added in a 2 to 4 per cent concentration to the usual cleaning solution. This treatment reduces static buildup to a point where it is not bothersome. It is not permanent and must be repeated each time the garment is cleaned. Washable garments with anti-static finishes are best washed with soap; detergents remove them.
