NB !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Antistatic sprays make life better for you but still allow ESD at a voltage 

that will damage electronics.

If you are serious:

- remove the carpet -(

- grounding points connected to ground with 1M or 10M resistors

- Conductive floor mats near work surfaces. See my comments on CHEAP butyl 

rubber anti static mats in a recent post.

- bench mats

- earth straps
