This is kind of funny!
My plastic toilet seat is like statically charged - so hair clings to it constantly.
I have to wipe down the seat almost every time I use it.
I tried leaving the lid down - it still gets in there.
I tried spraying it with Static Guard - it only lasts a couple days.
I'm ready to just get a replacement - maybe a cushioned one?!
Thanks for the input - it may be that I do get a lot of static in my hair. I think a wood replacement might work - I forgot about those. Although I remember having one a long time ago that cracked & would pinch you every time you sat down - ha ha!
Plastic does that. The dry air probably doesn't help. Is the problem worse in winter?
We have wood toilet seats. No static. You should be able to get replacements at Home depot.
Try a small amount of furniture polish or hair conditioner or even hand lotion. Not enough to be slippery but it should work. If the hair itself is very staticy, apply hand lotion as regular to your hands then run your fingers through your hair. It works great for a case of the frizzies.
It must be more than just the seat, I've never really heard of that before. Does your bathroom tend get very warm and dary air? I think a new seat would probably be the best solution, I can't think of any other way to prevent static on solid plasic like that.
A cushioned seat is also plastic. We have a wooden seat.
You could try wiping it with liquid fabric softener or a fabric softener sheet. If the anti-static doesn't last, you could try fastening a sheet to the seat. Where you don't sit. lol
I, too, have not experienced static electricity in plastic toilet seats in the past 60 years. Does your hair have static electricity. It may be your hair causing the problem.
Maybe try wiping it down with a dryer sheet before you use it each time?
