How can I protect my clothes from Clothes Moths?

Hey there! So, to help protect your jumpers, blankets and other lovely woollens from troublesome clothes moths, here are some simple and enjoyable tips. With a bit of care, you can make sure your favourite woolly pieces stay in good condition while you tuck them away for summer.

Start with a Clean Slate 

First things first  be sure to launder your clothes before stashing them away. It’s sort of an obvious move, isn’t it? Do you want to go putting away dirty clothes? And because moths are drawn to dirty things. They have food crumbs, sweat and other age surprises as a lovely dinner

The good news is that clean woollens are far less appetizing to these pesky moths.

Pick the Perfect Storage Containers

When you store your woollies, avoid cardboard boxes. They do not protect moths! Choose an airtight container with a secure lid instead, to protect your treasures.

If you don't have the space for larger containers, flip lids, or if larger containers won’t fit (this can happen if you have a very small freezer), then a simple zip-lock bag will do wonders!

What About Mothballs?  

You may have heard of moth balls, but be careful! Many people don’t know they’re pesticides, and when used incorrectly, they can be dangerous.

The key here is making sure you’re using enough mothballs certainly read the label! and that your container rings air-tight to trap in the fumes. Otherwise, they’re not going to do you any good!

There you go! With these tips, you will be well prepared to protect your woollens. Happy storing!
