I have built a DIY hammock out of Polyester Crinkle Taffeta. It turned out great. BUT The static electricity has been driving me absolutely crazy. My 3 year old plays in the hammock and if I go to reach for him I get zapped. I've noticed if I lay in it and move I've created my own charge. Does anyone else have this issue, or have ideas on how to stop it? I've tied a rope to the hammock and grounded it to no success.
I had the same issue with my Nylon Crinkle Taffeta Tablecloths. Washing and using a generous dose of fabric softener solved the problem for me. Not sure if it will help with the polyester but it couldn't hurt.
I use Static Guard spray.
Don't let life get in the way of living.
Climbing into the hammock at night in colder weather is like a lightening storm.... Nothing to shocking here...
increase the humidity in the house
