Making anti-static carpet spray?

We had our offices made with esd carpeting. Thats always an idea.

Spray some WD-40 around? Coat your entire carpet with vegetable oil? (Eww.)

Those "anti-static sheets" used in clothes dryers are not based on conductivity, instead they give your clothes a molecule-thin coating of oil. Then, when the clothes rub together, it's an oil-on-oil contact.

"Electrification by contact" requires dissimilar substances, therefore very little charge-separation occurs with slightly-oily surfaces.

Did you try Downy free & clear -- no stinkum in it.

I think it's the one that says "Don't mix with water and store," leading me to wonder what's going on.

Virtually all products that claim to be unscented do contain scenting agents! They produce some batches, determine what chemicals will be needed to 'fool' the nose into not noticing a scent and add it to the formula. Actually scent neutralizing additives.

I have severe allergies and asthma and have found this out the hard way. Regards Lee in Toronto

Guessing but once sufficiently diluted, the anti-microbial/anti-fungal concentration probably drops below a threshold level and it can "spoil" (grow mold, smell funky, etc.) Probably possible to keep a batch of the diluted solution in the refrigerator. If you have access to one of those kitchen vacuum units (FoodSaver or similar), dump the extra in a Mason jar and evacuate it before storing.
