John,
I worked at a computer company that had a carpet floor (not a bright
idea). We had anti-static spray that worked well. When the company
moved they tiled the tech area, go figure. After spraying I don't think
that I got ZAPPED. I can't believe that I did not think of that. I
more than likely will give it a try, you also might want to spray the
floor and not just the seats. Let me know what happens.
