How do I prevent moths?Updated an hour ago

Clean storage is your best defense. Moths are attracted to body oils, perfume, and food residue on garments — which is why we recommend dry cleaning before any long-term storage. Cedar and lavender are natural deterrents; refresh cedar blocks seasonally and replace lavender sachets when their scent fades.

If you find moth damage on a piece, isolate it immediately, seal it in a bag, and freeze for 48–72 hours to kill any active larvae or eggs. Then have it dry cleaned and return it to a freshly cleaned storage area.
