New Delhi: Busy
packing away your
winter clothes? Go for Azadirachta indica (
neem) or
tobacco leaves instead of
naphthalene balls to preserve woollens from damage, say the experts.
Storing
winter dresses is a huge responsibility, especially when one wants to preserve the fabric, freshness and colours of the garments for the next season. Experts suggest that woollies are safe if kept with organic items.
"Before storing the
woollens away, wash them in lukewarm water...never in too hot or extremely cold water. Put camphor tablets or clove in between folds of the woollen items," designer Aniket Satam told IANS.
