Rules for storing things
Firstly, before storing winter clothes, they must be washed and thoroughly dried in the fresh air.
This will help remove any dirt, sweat or food particles that will attract moths.
After cleaning the clothes, the next step is to store them in airtight packaging: plastic baskets, vacuum bags. Such packaging will not allow moths to penetrate inside and damage the clothes.
Adding a few sprigs of lavender to bags of clothing will quickly repel moths.
Please note this nuance:
- It is important to store winter clothes in cool, dry and dark places, damp and warm environments will attract moths very quickly.
Lifehack for storing winter clothes
To avoid worrying about the safety of your clothes, you should put several pots of geraniums in the room. Moths will not risk settling in such a closet.

With proper care and storage, winter clothing can be kept in excellent condition until next season.
