May might be the month all thoughts turn to our summer wardrobes, but be aware that lurking amongst the hangers may well be some pesky little blighters set to ruin your fun. May is the month female clothes moths get busy egg-laying, ready to hatch into destructive invaders and commence the downward slope of wardrobe disintegration.
Julia Dee, clothing expert from www.totalwardrobecare.co.uk recommends a thorough spring-cleaning and natural moth prevention products to protect your clothes. Known and loved by the A-list for her company Designer Alterations, a leading specialist clothing care company, Julia has developed a range of natural moth-repellents with the help of a specialise ‘nose’ in the New Forest. Her May-Chang blend is made from organic lavender, rosemary, clove bud, cedarwood, patchouli and laurel - all traditional fragrances used to protect clothes and repel insects. The best prevention is cure - ensure clothes are properly dry-cleaned before storing, and protect throughout the year with Julia's fantastic candles, wardrobe oil, pop pourri and wardrobe spray. I had a mass clean out of my wardrobe at the weekend (it took a LOT longer than I expected...) and have hopefully prevented a plague. Plus I managed to rediscover several luscious items I forgot I had, good times!
