Duration Depends on Environment & Surface
Zero Static sprays provide lasting static protection, but several factors affect how often you need to reapply:
- Surface type (plastic, metal, flooring)
- Amount of foot or hand traffic
- Dust and dirt accumulation
- Humidity and temperature conditions
- Cleaning or wiping of the surface
General Reapplication Guide
Application | Reapply Every | Notes |
---|---|---|
Electronics benches | 1–2 weeks | More often if wiped down frequently |
Plastic bins/shelves | 2–4 weeks | Reapply if dust starts collecting again |
Floors and mats | Weekly | Especially in high-traffic areas |
Packaging stations | 1–2 weeks | Faster reapplication may be needed during busy periods |
Home use (TVs, desks) | Monthly | Dust levels are a good indicator |
Signs It’s Time to Reapply
- Increased static shocks
- Dust buildup returns
- Surfaces feel dry or squeaky
- Static attraction when removing film or handling plastic
Tips to Extend Protection
- Clean surfaces before applying
- Store diluted solution in a clean, sealed container
- Avoid wiping with dry cloths or paper towels
- Use distilled water when diluting for electronics-related use
FAQs
Will frequent cleaning remove the anti-static effect?
Yes — especially with water or alcohol-based cleaners. Reapply afterward for continued protection.
Can I apply a stronger mix to make it last longer?
No need — use the recommended dilution (1:9) for best performance without residue.
Is one spray enough?
Light misting is usually sufficient. For large areas, use even coverage with a clean cloth or spray applicator.
