Proper storage of clothing : How to prevent them from moth infestation

Want to get rid of moths? Want to keep them away?

Storage of clothes has always been a task of utmost importance, and also an inevitable and unavoidable task. Every year, at the change of the season, one has to put in the past season’s clothes and take out the upcoming ones. Besides the general precautions one may take such as washing clothes prior and after storing them and keeping them properly stacked to maintain their quality, one more issue of concern comes regarding insects that can damage clothes. The most frequent among these insects are moths. These seemingly harmless creatures are the worst threat to any type of clothing material that is stored for a long time. Be it your favorite pair of jeans, an expensive corduroy gown, or that silk halter you simply adore, all can be severely damaged if not stored properly and protected a the same time. Hence, in order to keep your clothes safe, it is increasingly important to get rid of moths.

Currently, there are a wide range of moth repellents and moth deterrents (that prevent the attack and spread of moth population in your cupboards and almirahs). Every year, we need to store clothes as the season changes, and with the storage of clothes comes the ever-persistent question of how to protect your possession from moths. Following is an account of how you can properly store your clothes as well as keep moths away.

Coming back to different types of repellents, the most effective type is a cedar moth repellent, since moths do not like the smell of cedar. These are the most commonly used due to the fact that they offer both, a good smell as well as protection against moth outbreaks.
