Question from goodenoughforme@comcast.net
My question is how to store sweaters safely without using toxic vinyl bags. I know to wash the sweaters and freeze if there are signs of moth eggs or cases, which I have done, but now I am wondering how to store them so moths absolutely can not get at them. The cedar balls, etc. do not work well enough, and of course I don’t want to use mothballs. The sweaters must be in some kind of sealed container. Any suggestions? Thanks!

I have some polypropylene bags, which are plastic but do not have toxic fumes, that are like giant ziplock sandwich bags. They work very well. But if you want something that is not plastic, I’m not sure what to suggest. Readers, what are your suggestions?
Mary-she probably got her sweaters at J.Crew. I had 6 J.Crew sweaters in my closet NEXT to my Banana Republic and cheapo Target sweaters which were all wool and the JCrew’s are FULL of holes. The others? Nothing. I wrote the company and they had “no idea” why their sweaters would be targeted. maybe our insects are just really yuppiesh?
