Cotton and mostly-cotton blends don't get that much static but nylon, polyester, and bamboo/rayon/microfiber make sparks. If you're trying to wash pet hair out of something, the softener can help it let go. Although, before you wash, try using a squeegee or a silicone bowl-scraper to remove most of the hair.
