SME 20/2 Static Electricity


I love my 20/2 but I get a lot of static electricity on the platter, especially in the winter.  
Maybe a platter mat will help.  Anyone had this issue and resolved it?  
I'm considering one of the many static removing devices as well. 
I never had this much static on either of the Clearaudio decks I owned previously.  Must be something related to platter material?
Thanks in advance for your help.

Gruv Glide works perfectly to remove static.  I won't get involved in a discussion of the sonic benefits or that stuff, but it is a total cure for static.  
I used to have difficulties with static with my Linn, but the Basis has a grounded bearing, which seems to have solved the problem.  I don't use it anymore, but I did use it on many records and never found it to harm anything.
