: Holes in Sweaters

The other day, I was pulling out my sweaters for fall/winter and noticed 2 of sweaters have holes in my sweater. Like 6-7 holes. I barely have worn these sweaters as I bought them last year and I know for sure I take care of my clothing.

Anyone else have such issue? Not sure if it's some bug(s) eating them, but I am super clean as I clean my closet and room every week. No other clothing seems to have such issue.

Probably moths or carpet beetles.

Get some lavender

I've never seen any "moths" in my closet or room.....

If it's moths/bugs, why only attack the sweaters and none of my "shirts" LOL

It might be the washer when I wash my pants, other than that, can't think of any other reason.

In my washing machine, I found a paperclip that got stuck in the drain holes of the drum... after it had ripped holes in 4 sweaters. It'd been there a few months.

if you haven't seen moths or larva, then its probably carpet beetles, they're tougher to spot

lavender, rosemary, cherry wood, moth balls, vacuum vacuum vacuum

^ my old place had hardwood, and new place i got carpet replaced with hardwood, i do and did see silverfish every now and then, they chew through clothes aswell. i've dropped few mothballs.. in every corner of my closet.


and dont wash t-shirts with jeans etc.. i do separate t-shirts/delicate and shirts (button) with jeans etc.
