1. If conditions permit, it is best to add diluted fiber softener when cleaning or spray it on the sweater because it can soften the fibers and reduce static electricity generated by friction.

Textile materials are insulating materials with high electrical resistance. When wearing, friction between fibers and between fibers and other objects causes the transfer of charges on the surface of objects, which creates static electricity. 

In addition, the air is dry in winter and the humidity is low. The static electricity generated by the sweater is not easily transmitted to the air, and the moisture content in the sweater fiber is also very low. In addition, the material itself of the sweater is also easy to be charged by friction, so the sweater will generate static electricity in winter.
