Eugh! Its a nightmare when rolling and folding drapes and gowns! Not had it so much with the vet beds. I cant touch tin foil myself but will get some dryer balls!

Good ideas!

Try and wait for loads to cool down they discharge a lot of static that way and only a bit of static left.

At high temps, tumble dryers can melt some vetbeds, just don't go nuts ;) I too get static, I just let the blacket things dry naturally, or just get rid of the woollen ones.

I usually was things seperatly to stop it happening

Really why? Have just purchased our first tumble drier here. Was looking forward to using it with vetbeds as that is our major bedding!

we're not allowed to tumbledry vetbeds as its supposedly a fire hazard

We have this problem as well, I read somewhere that putting a ball of foil in with the washing int he tumble drier can take the static away and it seems to have worked when iv done it! Give it a go x

I get loads of shocks as well and have never found a way to stop them. My mum used to laugh at me when I made such a fuss shutting car doors until I got a pretty nasty shock through her, and I've even had a shock off of the prep room wall a few times as well

tumbler balls usually work quite well both in cutting down on drying time and reducing static. Could always change your name to Sparky

We don't have a tumble drier in at work but I know at home, when I used tumble drier sheets it helped a lot.
