Some clever housewives put solid soap in the pocket of a coat hanging in the closet.
You can use either tar or laundry soap, or regular bar toilet soap.
Any of these products will protect the popular wool product.
"Protect from what?" - many will probably ask. The answer is simple: "From moths."
How does soap in the cabinet "work"
Laundry soap and tar soap are sources of a specific smell.
The moth is "afraid" of this aroma. Thus, the wardrobe items stored in the closet acquire protection from the insect.
The only drawback of the above-mentioned products is the following: their smell may seem unpleasant not only to pests, but also to the residents of the apartment.
If you are not prepared for the fact that the furniture will always have a strong “aroma”, then replace special soaps with regular toilet soaps.
Yes, a hygienic detergent will cope with the task a little worse than household and medical varieties. But the effect will still be there.
Nuances of use
Of course, the soap used to protect clothes from moths must be absolutely dry. You need to choose a product that has not been used anywhere before.
You can put the product not only in your coat. The effectiveness of the bar soap will be the same if the product is in the pocket of a fur coat or on a pile of wool sweaters.
