Check quiet storage areas
Inspect accessible garment folds, cupboard corners and items that have been stored undisturbed. Photograph damage and any insects found. Avoid transferring potentially affected clothing into another wardrobe without advice.
Plan fabric care and room access
Follow garment care labels and ask about suitable handling of delicate items. A room treatment does not automatically treat clothing inside closed bags or drawers. Tell the technician which fabrics are affected and how wardrobes are arranged so the preparation plan can address the relevant areas and belongings separately.
Inspect sentimental items thoughtfully
Stored blankets, uniforms and rarely worn wool items can be overlooked during a wardrobe check. If damage is suspected, seek handling advice before laundering something delicate. The insect identification and fabric's care requirements should both guide the next step, rather than using one method for every textile.
