Storing of clothes

Not all clothes are in regular use.

Thus, the clothes need to be stored,
so that they can be used as and when

needed. Once the season is over, silk
and woollen clothes must be washed Neem leaves Mothballs

or dry-cleaned and kept out in the sun
for a few hours before storage. They should never be stored when dirty because

certain insects can eat them up making holes in them. They should be kept with
mothballs or dried neem leaves between the folds. This keeps the insects away.

Proper care of clothes makes them last long.
