Default Sick of dust staic clinging to your side panel window?

So I recently put my own side window panel on my antec 300 case and after a day there was noticable dust statically stuck to it. My mother recommended to rub a dryer sheet on the window. I thought she was crazy but I actually tried it and its been 3 days and I have nothing stuck to the window at all. Its probably old news but I just thought I'd share. The dryer sheet will leave steaks on the window that I buffed off with a lint free cloth and so far so good.


Enjoy

This happened a lot when I used the side panel on my 900. Now I just leave the side panel off. I tried cleaning off the dust with a cloth but it just puts these tiny scratches on the window and it shows up if I turn on the cathodes.

anti static spray for acrylic and a microfiber cloth will do the same trick, without the streaking

I use a microfiber rag too and a window cleaner and air compressor spray too. Works great. I wouldn't use a dryer sheet, that causes static don't it?

It says right on my dryer sheet package "Prevents static cling" so I can't imagine it would cause static

Dryer sheets prevent static not create it. I would actually use a used dryer sheet since most of the fabric softener is gone and should streak the window less.
