Cleanliness as defense against destructive wool moths
The article warns that moths mainly attack woolen fabrics and urges thorough cleaning before storage. It recommends soap and water washing for colorfast wool, gentle handling to avoid fiber damage, and dry cleaning for coats or fur-trimmed garments. It also advises brushing, airing, and storing flat after colorfast washing.
Caring for Woolen Household Articles
The guide stresses gentle cleaning for blankets and woolen items. Wash in lukewarm suds without rubbing or twisting, use loose wringer rollers, and air dry on parallel lines. Lightly press bindings, avoid ironing, then mothproof and store in airtight containers. Seal closets to prevent tiny moth entry.
