Cause Comments Recommendations Location
Low solvent relative humidity Static buildup on fabrics Control moisture in solvent when possible Rinse solvent and/or dryer
High tumbler temperature Overdrying removes natural moisture from garments Maintain recommended temperatures and drying time
Processing large quantities of piled fabrics Creates lint accumulations in confined areas of tumbler Clean tumbler of lint
Poor lint maintenance procedures Accumulations of lint in confined areas of the tumbler will deposit on garments Routine filter lint maintenance
Poor antistatic properties Static buildup on fabrics will attract lint Antistatic sprays can help control linting
Low detergent charge Antistatic properties are decreased Maintain recommended detergent charge in solvent
Poor classification Some types of fabrics will create an electrical charge more readily than others When possible, clean wools and synthetics separately
