We purchased one and it is SOOOOOOO staticky. (I probably spelled that wrong) lol
If I use scotch guard on the couch, would that fix it? Anyone have any good remedies?
I edited the topic b/c I realized it's a microsuede lol I guess microfiber is the same thing, but whatever.

Re: microfiber couch?
I would love a remedy to this as well! Plus, the dog lays on it, so his hair is all over and I can't get it off!!! I have tried that sticky-roller thing and it does nothing! So annoying!!! I hate the winter for the static reasons!

Re: microfiber couch?
I saw a commercial for this the other day and just found it online! I really want to try this:
That's pretty cool. I don't really have too much of a problem with the hair just yet. He has short hair and doesn't shed a whole lot right now. We have throws over the new couch so if any hair does get on it, we can just shake it off outside or w/e. If we do have major issues, I will pick this up:)

Ugh, we have had the same problem, but it only started when we put the Christmas tree up! I still can't get rid of it though! Let me know if you find a solution!

Re: microfiber couch?
Wow, who would've thought this was such a big issue. I google'd 'Static on microfiber couches' and I came up with this:

I guess you can try the static guard, and if that doesn't work maybe the fabric softener and the water?

What about that Static Guard spray that they sell for clothes?

Re: microfiber couch?
I think my couch iss microfiber. It feels like suede? Mine has never been staticy. But whenever people spill on it, it wipes up no problem! I wonder if wiping driyer sheets on it would help? Did you try googleing to find anything? Let us know what you end up doing.

Yeah, I google'd and apparently alot of people have the same exact problem with their microfiber suede couches.
I will try some of the things suggested and see how it goes ;)

I just saw a new product to get dog hair off the couch-pet hair removal. I saw it at Walmart in Centereach.

Re: microsuede couch?
We have the same problem, very stacky, and its impossible to get up pet hair. I use a lint roller on it at least twice a day for the pet hair. Let me know if you find a solution!

Re: microsuede couch?
we have microsuede and i LOVE it.......everything tends to get static in the winter - especially when its cold and dry......just spray your couch with static guard every week and it should be fine....that is what i do......i spray static guard on my clothes, around electronics and on the couch to keep the static to a minimum - i even have a can i keep at work - between the computer and all the metal filing cabinets there is tons of static....
a suggestion for those with pets - i bought a throw for the couch - but its for pets - i got it at costco awhile ago - its for my dogs spot on the couch - she knows that the only place she is allowed is where her blanket is - that keeps her hair contained to that area - and her funk as well i lysol the couch about every other day (b/c of the dog) and once a week i change her blanket (i have 2 that i switch between) - then every 2 weeks or so i vaccuum the entire couch - doing that keep our furniture really clean - not much dog hair or dust.....also microfiber is SUPER easy to clean - i love it!

Re: microsuede couch?
softly rub a bounce wipe over the material and the static will be less. it wont go away entirely, but it won't be as staticy

Re: microsuede couch?
I tried the dryer sheets and they worked, they minimized the static. I will try the softener and the water spray. :)

Re: microsuede couch?
i have microsuede ...but I don't have that problem so much. I would just try rubbing an actual dryer sheet on it. also, try getting a whole home or single room humidifier.
