Options for ridding records of static electricity

Pardon me if this has already been mentioned but...

One way to gauge the static charge on records is this: Take the record to the bathroom. Yes you read that right, the bathroom. Unroll 12.337 inches of the toilet paper from the roll. It must be this length or substandard results will certainly happen. Holding the record parallel to the extended toilet paper note how much the paper is attracted to the record.

Then do whatever you seem fit to make it so the paper doesn’t get pulled onto the record. In my case I use a Milty zerostat while slowly repeating the phrase "Be gone you electron". I think the talking to the record is key to the effectiveness of this method. One day I will try it without the talking and see if it still works.

I’m about ready to try the brush sweeper grounding arm thingy as suggested by

mijostyn. I was thinking it’s just more stuff to bother with, but as it is my routine is .... take out the record...it always has electric potential as judged by the sensitive toilet paper test even from "non static" sleeves. Shoot it slowly with the Milty. Genuflect. Roll it with a silicon roller, but that adds electrons back so then shoot with the Milty again, concentrate on the breath and being present, then place the vinyl on the platter quickly and close the cover before more crap gets on it and certainly don’t look at it under the microscope because doing that adds more crap. Enjoy the music while imagining the microdust getting under the edges of the dust cover on the air currents destroying all the previous work. Relax if possible.

So maybe it’s just easier to use a sweeper brush arm thing. Maybe I should just give in and accept that digital is "OK" enough.
