Carpets and electric shocks
6 Answers
I am permanently receiving electric shocks from anything I touch. Is it something to do with carpets? Would woollen ones be less likely to produce static than the polyester?! whatever they're called. I am carpetting my house soon and if it makes a difference I would like to cut out the shocks.

I am not too sure of the relative cost but your carpet supplier should be able to assist you there.
The shocks are also due to the fact that the humidity in your house must be very low so the static charge built up due to friction does not drain away easily. Note that the static builds up on you when your feet slide over the carpet fibres so - 1. ''pick your feet up when you walk'' and 2. don't have carpet with very long fibres.
