Static Control Will A Mat Help

I have a huge static problem with my vinyl, especially after cleaning on a RCM.
I live in Florida and the static build up on my albums is so much that when I remove the LP from the TT you can see the charge jump to the Arm Mounting assembly.

I was going to invest in a Zerost but then had the bright idea that maybe an anti Static mat under the TT may eliminate the problem.
I tried a “platter mat” totally ineffective
Any thoughts

If you have central a/c the add a humidifier to your system. This will take care of static issues in you entire house not only your listening space. Set in for 40 to 50%.
It is cheaper than a cartridge or speakers, etc from the sudden elecrical discharge.
