Those small holes in your clothes are often a sign of moth or insect damage, specifically from clothes moths or carpet beetles. These pests feed on natural fibers like wool, cashmere, silk, or cotton, especially when the fabric has food stains, sweat, or body oils.
What to Do:
- Inspect Closets and Storage Areas:
Look for signs of moths or beetles, including larvae, eggs, or adult insects.
- Clean the Affected Clothes:
Wash them in hot water or dry clean, as heat kills larvae and eggs.
Vacuum your storage spaces thoroughly.
- Store Clothes Properly:
Use airtight plastic containers or vacuum-seal bags.
Store rarely used garments with cedar blocks, lavender, or mothballs to deter pests.
