I have a new T-fal Prima 56. When I iron it makes my clothes very static electric. Anyone else have this problem? How did you solve it?

Isn't this because of the material fabric? Cotton material doesn't have the static problem.

Doubt it's your iron producing the static. Do you use fabric softener or dryer sheets? That should eliminate the static. Also, a dry indoor climate adds to static as experienced in cold weather.

Your material must be flat and smooth. Also make sure you have the proper setting for thr type of fabric you're ironing. Maybe turn down the steam setting too. Good luck!

Do you hear the motor speed drop as well? And are you running the hot air rework at the same time. It did it to me the other night I had the iron, rework wand, and the smoke absorber on all at the same time. And when the heating element kicked in my air would drop. Then come back when the iron turned off, then start again when the iron needed to heat. Did you remove the red plug from the bottom? And if that fails crack it open and see if any lines are loose, or cracked. If all else fails write me back and I'll help ya more if I can.-patrick

I have the same problem. After reading the previous answer, I will try his suggestion. Mostly I use it for quilting so do more up and down motion on seams rather than a lot of actual ironing.

Sorry I have had no static problems with this brush. Maybe a shampoo change will help.

Yes, I too faced this problem with my Black & Decker iron. The model is Quick 'N Easy 460. I thought it is the mineral deposits from the water being steamed and is quite irritating, but has happened only recently.

I have regular old tfal steam iron and it blocks the moisture pretty well but i don't usually do more than 4-5 items at a time. I do like full force steam though! I spill water fairly often tho because i'm clumsy-- no drips through the cover so far!

I don't have any static problems, but I do use the conditioner and also leave in. Maybe because both hydrates the hair it could help with static issues.

I had static also. Am returning the device and ordering a new one from a different seller. I suspect the quality control may not be optimal and some may have static and others not.

I have an Energy Star front-load washer and its companion dryer. I bought a six pack a couple of years ago, and my box says to use all six in a load. I am just now noticing a bit of static on things like skimpy fleece blankets we put out for the cats, and so forth. I am very pleased with this purchase and I'm thinking of buying another pack to have to use for "good" laundry and to save the older ones for loads where it doesn't matter. I have not used a single dryer sheet since I started using Woolzies and I feel better about my contribution to the environment, as a result.

Mine didn't sound static at all. If you're using the cord, make sure it's plugged in good

Well, I haven't really noticed a change in the static charge of my clothes since switching to SoapNuts. I do use wool balls and an aluminum foil ball in the dryer and see virtually no static except when washing big blankets. I don't think these affect static but it seems to be more so what you use in the dryer.

Mine did the same thing. I searched the internet for anotber one. Best iron ever.

Twila; I can understand your complaint. I came to expect this unit isn't like a regular iron and due to the size of this unit dabbed it onto the fabric instead of gliding, and got the same result.

So sorry you are having problems. Mine works fine and I love it. Maybe the iron cleaner that comes in a tube (Joanne's). You spread it on a towel and then run your HOT iron over the towel/rag several times. It works well and removes all that "stuff" that somehow gets on the sole plate. Good luck!

set your iron to the low end of synthetic- cool to slightly warm. This is a cheap poly synthetic, with a low melting point. good luck!
