I've received some quite nasty shocks when cleaning up in one of the bedrooms we are working on at the moment. The bedroom is very dusty, I've removed two lath and plaster walls and have been doing a lot of sanding and woodwork. I've received shocks when using our 'Henry' cleaner but only with the extension pole and to a lesser extent with a Dyson.
Anyone no what's going on here? Have I got electric problems with the appliances or is it static? The fact that I got it from both cleaners makes me think it must be a problem of static. Is there anything I can do about it

Did you find a solution surripere? What did dyson say ?
Tea,coffee,sugar and bicuits next to kettle help yourself. Milk is in the fridge and please do not use the best china *points to mugs by kettle to use *.
Henry's ewxtension is metal. Metal conducts static. The solution - always wear shoes that don't generate static, and hope that your carpet isn't pure nylon.
Wear rubber gloves (Marigolds), and you will have no contact from your hands to the metal pole, and thus will not receive the static charge it builds up.
