Static/dust on safety glasses
I wear safety glasses made of all clear plastic. It seems the generate some static electricity or something that makes fine particles of saw dust stick to them which gets annoying. Is there something I can wipe on to eliminate this or a different type of eyewear?

Check RainX, I'm not sure it will work, but worth a look.

I remember hearing dryer sheets, but I haven't tried it...

Re: Static/dust on safety glasses
Thanks. I'll try those ideas out. Really trying to train myself to have safety glasses on at all times when I'm working and constantly wiping them off isn't helping.

I keep a clean bandana in my back pocket and wipe as needed.

Try once used dryer sheets. Still has chemical in it, but not enough to bother eyes. Be cautious if you wear contacts. Contacts can sometimes attract certain chemicals.
