I store mine in a cedar chest from my grandmother and I have not had an issue with them. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/whats-your-moth-solution#post-848228 Wed, 13 Feb 2013 21:24:43 +0000 Diana 848228@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wash them before you put them away for the summer. That's the biggest thing. Even things like dead skin and sweat will attract them. I store mine on open shelves in my closet with some cedar and lavendar and don't have moth problems. </p> <p>ETA: Just read that you will be wearing the sweaters all summer... I guess in that case your best bet would just be to wash often. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/whats-your-moth-solution#post-848225 Wed, 13 Feb 2013 21:21:56 +0000 Sarah A 848225@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I would first recommend putting the damaged items in the freezer for a week to kill the eggs/animals. Vacuum drawers and corners throrughly. Then use lavendar or cedar in your closet as a repellant. I end up washing my woolens (i do hand wash cycle even on merino and cashmere and set flat to dry) probably a bit too often too as any speck of food etc. will attract the buggers. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/whats-your-moth-solution#post-848221 Wed, 13 Feb 2013 21:10:21 +0000 Kristin SF 848221@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I discovered tiny holes in at least 1 merino wool sweater and 1 cashmere sweater. Bummed.</p> <p>Just wondering - what's your answer to moths? How do you store your sweaters?</p> <p>I'm in the SF Bay Area plus my office can be ARCTIC, so I'll be wearing my sweaters all summer long. Therefore, I need a better solution for my closet. (I can't just pack up my sweaters into bins and store them away.)</p> <p>Anyone have any great tips? TIA! </p>
