If you need to keep your favorite clothes in your closet looking great, prevent moths from attacking them, or prevent a musty smell from appearing, soap will save the day.

You should take pieces of tar or laundry soap and put them in the pockets of coats, jackets and other wardrobe items.

The smell of soap will last for a long time and will not disappear quickly.

As a result, this will become a reliable protection against moths.

If you want your closet to have a more pleasant and soft aroma, you can use toilet soap with the scent of lavender or mint. The fact is that moths also cannot stand such aromas.

It is worth adding that it is better to choose an untouched piece of soap that has not been used in any way before.

The soap should remain whole and dry. If you do not want the bars to come into contact with the fabric, you can wrap the pieces in paper napkins beforehand.

This simple life hack will perfectly protect fur coats from moths at any time of the year.
