Moth Damage

Moth’s Like Protein

Moths tend to to feed on proteins in dark places where they wont be disturbed. The protein they consume might be natural fiber itself (like cashmeres, wools, etc.) or it could be traces of an invisible stain, perspiration, body oils or human skin cells.  We shed over two billions skin cells daily. It stands to reason that folks with extensive wardrobes, many of which they don’t wear on a regular basis, are particularly vulnerable to moth damage.

Of course, if you do detect moth damage anywhere, we offer our superb reweaving service to help you salvage a treasured garment. Dry cleaning will help rid the garment of moth and moth eggs.
