how do you get rid of static electricity from carpet?

If this is a constant problem then buy a humidifier. Static electricity is less likely to happen if the air in your house is not so dry.

There is a free to use software named EasyCleaner. You can find it at http://www.toniarts.com It will solve this and many more problems of yours.\n\nBest of Luck!

The human body can generate electrostatic discharge up to 30,000 volts.  (Take care when handling electrostatic sensitive equipment.)\n\nExamples:\nWalking across a carpet with leather shoes and low-humdity can raise the human body capacitance charge up to 25,000 volts.\n\nWalking across a linoeum floor can generate up to 5,000 volts.

Clean it with canned air. There is not much you can do to prevent the dust unless you meticulously clean your room every day

Utilize some conductor between you and the grounding point. For example, hold a key (make sure you're touching the metal part!) and touch the key to the grounding point (door knob, etc.)\n\nThe static charge you have accumulated will flow through the key, and the arc will be produced between the key and the door knob. Since you are in contact with the key, the electrons will flow freely through you, and the energy causing the 'zap' will only be between the key & door knob. You will not feel a thing.\n\nTo reduce your tendancy to develop a static charge, walk barefoot, wear cotton clothing and increase the humidity level of your living environment.\n\nTo learn more about the principles of static electricity, check out these lectures offered by professor Lewin from MIT, click the link below...

... the belt on the vaccuum cleaner causes static electricity ... causing the motherboard to surge ... then causing it to shutdown ... to protect itself ... its common for that to happen ... especially with belt turned vaccuum cleaners ... have fun

Dryer sheets really help to reduce static electricity oin your clothes.\nthis sounds silly, but a flat-headed thumb tack through the inside of your shoe facing down so that the tip points down when you're standing up helps with build up when you walk.\nGetting your car properly grounded helps with getting shocked coming out of your car (that's most popular with me)

Usually dirt and grease from visiting customers my wifes dies if I dont remove them before touching the carpet.

You can get anti static cleaning wipes from places like radio shack, walmat, walgreens and many more places. The dirty marks left behind is just dirt that you didn't get the first time. You can use NON Ammonia windex, just make sure it is NON ammoniated. Ammonia is bad for the plastic. Always spay it on the clean towel, never the monitor, or LCD. If you feel uncomfortable with NON ammonia windex then go for either a 50-50 mixture of isopropyl alcohol and water or the anti static wipes. Below is a cut and paste from a Tech Republic download on repairing and maintaining Laptops.\n\nStandard Cleaners\nFor the most basic function—cleaning exterior LCD screens, keyboards, and cases—various chemicals\nare available. I normally recommend one of the following:\n■ 50-50 mixture of isopropyl alcohol and water\n■ Nonammoniated glass cleaner\n■ Pure water (hot water works best)\nOther solutions such as antistatic LCD cleaning cloths and Kimwipes are also acceptable alternatives.\nCaution\nIsopropyl alcohol is a flammable liquid. Do not use alcohol cleaner near an exposed flame or when the system is on.\nThe solutions should generally be in liquid form, not a spray. Sprays can be wasteful, and you should\nnever spray the solution directly on the system anyway. Instead, lightly moisten a soft lint-free cloth,\nwhich is then used to wipe down the parts to be cleaned.\n\nCleaning the LCD and Case\nTo clean the exterior of your laptop system, use the following procedure:\nLightly moisten a soft lint-free cloth with either a 50-50 mixture of isopropyl alcohol and water, nonammoniated\nglass cleaner, or pure water (hot water works best). Never spray liquid cleaner directly on\nthe system, especially the display or keyboard.\nGently wipe the LCD panel with the moistened cloth and then follow with a dry cloth. Be sure the\ncloth is not wet enough to drip and that the LCD is completely dry when you’re finished. Antistatic\nChapter 3\n88 Chapter 3 System Maintenance and Assembly\nLCD-cleaning cloths and Kimwipes are also acceptable alternatives. Do not use standard paper towels,\nwhich can scratch the LCD, or window cleaners with ammonia, which can damage or stain the LCD.\nNote\nKimwipes are disposable 8.5- by 4.5-inch wipes, basically heavy-duty lint-free paper towels. They are a trademarked\nbrand of Kimberly-Clark Corp., along with Kleenex, and are very popular in industrial, laboratory, and photographic use.\n\nI use the a 50-50 mixture of isopropyl alcohol and water, I use distilled water in the mixture (no minerals in the water means no mineral deposits on the screen).\n\nI hope this helps, Good Luck.

Static can be a serious nuisance in the processing of analog recording media, because it can attract dust to sensitive materials. In the case of photography, dust accumulating on lenses and photographic plates degrades the resulting picture. Dust also permanently damages vinyl records because it can be embedded into the grooves as the stylus passes over. In both cases, several approaches exist to combat such dust deposition. Some brushes, particularly those with carbon fiber bristles, are advertised as possessing anti-static properties. Also available are handheld static guns which shoot streams of ions to discharge static on records and lenses. Static electricity is a class of phenomena involving objects with a net charge; typically referring to charged objects with voltages of sufficient magnitude to produce visible attraction, repulsion, and sparks.\n\nNatural electrostatic phenomena are most familiar as an occasional annoyance in seasons of low humidity, but can be destructive and harmful in some situations (e.g. electronics manufacturing.) When working in direct contact with integrated circuit electronics (especially delicate MOSFETs), or in the presence of flammable gas, care must be taken to avoid accumulating and discharging a static charge.\n\nNote that the presence of electric current does not detract from the electrostatic forces nor from the sparking, from the corona discharge, or other phenomena. Both phenomena can exist simultaneously in the same system.

Try heat. (Or wire strippers if it is infact a wire.)

Static electricity is caused by electrons being removed from a body, such as you. when this body is not an electrical conductor, it becomes ion charged.Once that body is ionically charged other bodies which are opposingly charged are attracted.

Most clothing now a days are made from man made fibers.\n The action of body movement causes the material to rub together. Also dry air warm air will speed up the generation of static. Walking on man made fibre carpets, plastic desks`etc in  the office will generate static because there is no ground to discharge it.  Nylon underware will also generate static.You will notice this some times when you first touch any metal connected to ground after being in the above envioment. You will hear a crack and experience an eclectic shock. Some static electricity can be generated up to 4,000 v. Oil tankers doing tank washing with sea water can generate this kind of voltage. If the tanks are not Inerted with CO2 an explosion can occur

Have them clean it and ask them to be more careful or they get to clean it again.I hope you don't have carpeting in your bathroom.Good Luck!!!

Static electricity.  Just connect yourself to a ground and you'll be OK.

GET AN ERASER AND A LITTLE DUSTER FRIST ERASE ALL THE DUST OF AND DIRT THEN JUST DUST IT OFF WORKS 4 ME

Try Windex and a soft paper towel.
