How do you deal with the static of the beads so they don't get all over everything?

I use a larger cardboard box. Place the item that I want to fill in the box and transfer the beads in the box. That way whatever beads escape stay in the box.

I use an electrostatic cloth. Some of the other reviewers suggest using a damp cloth. The instructions in the box are to slide the rods up and down 3-4 times. For stubborn dirt patches, uses a cloth and warm sudsy water, rinse and let dry for 24 hours.

It works great for beads. They dont intermingle at all. They stay in their compartment

We dont have dust, so no direct experience. Wecovered our chain link for privacy and I like the green. It is pretty tight weave so it,woukd probably block some dust

The trick I have been using is to spray Static Guard and go in the bathroom or small room. If you get dust under the protector, take a 2 pieces of scotch tape, one to lift the protector, and one to slide underneath to get the dust off. It takes patience, but if you take your time, these protectors have worked best for me.

I don't know how to keep them sanitary. I recommend not using them at ALL. The beads caused a horrid rash & blisters all over my daughter's feet after only using it twice. The doctor said it was equivalent to a severe poison ivy or poison oak reaction. My daughter had to go on multiple antihistamines for weeks to stop the nonstop itching.

Use tape or a lint roller. I Don't like cleaning with acetone because I think it eats away the rubber.

I have that same issue, I thought at first it was coming from the show I was watching but that wasn't the case. I'm debating on returning it for a replacement. The static can be quite annoying at times...

Wrap the cables over your ears like how people wear Shures or customs. Your ears will attenuate a lot of the vibrations that goes into the cable rubbing.

Stretch wrap can get static. Hairs, dust, etc. will stick or be attracted to it.

Just peel it and stick it to your phone. It will cling to the phone with static

I don't have any static problems, but I do use the conditioner and also leave in. Maybe because both hydrates the hair it could help with static issues.

This may be due to the fact that the beads have an excessive amount of moisture in them and as they cool after being taken out of the microwave the moisture comes out of the center of the bead. To fix this problem you may have to place the beads in the microwave for additional 30 second intervals until the few blue ones stay blue. This should cure the problem that you are experiencing.

Mine did. Just tried to fill a bag and they stuck to everything but I'm guessing it would depend on how much static was around;)

I'm sorry, but I have no idea if that can be done, as I didn't try. The old beads I was replacing had been in so long I didn't want to reuse them.

I use a lightweight plastic bag, but had trouble with static cling, so I added an old used Bounce sheet and it works just fine. I empty the plastic bag into trash, but save the Bounce sheet in bag.

If there was a rip or a seam that came loose, the beads might escape. I don't know what happns after years of use since I haven't had mine very long.
