NEW DELHI: Most of the time, we concentrate on cleaning the items placed inside the wardrobe but not the closet itself. But, maintaining a clean wardrobe definitely is a road map to your clean clothes.

Spot clean the wardrobe with detergent or cleanser to avoid dry and irremovable stains

Combat the moths out of the wardrobe to save your woollen wear

Moths are mostly drawn to sweat, hair and body oil left on clothing, particularly those made out of natural fibres. Even though we clean all the clothes before placing them in the wardrobe, the leftover scents are enough for them to settle over.
