Bleach Caution: Use caution while dealing with chlorine bleach, since it has the potential to create holes. Go for vinegar or baking soda if you’re concerned about the environment.
Battle moths: To keep moths at bay, try using pheromone traps or just some dried lavender, which are natural repellents. If the infestation is serious, use warm water to wash the garments and vinegar to clean the closets.
Keep rough surfaces at bay: To avoid unintentionally ripping garments, smooth or hide rough areas.
The Definitive Resource for Seamless Clothes Repair
First things first: collect the following:
Things that have holes that are 5 mm in diameter or smaller
Webs made of iron-fusible materials
A substantial sheet of wax paper
Just follow these steps:
Get the Clothes Ready: Iron the garment with the wrong side facing outwards after turning it inside out.
Release the Clinging Web: To begin, measure the hole you want to fix and cut a little piece of fusible bonding web that is just bigger.
The Align and Bond method involves gently pressing the two halves of the hole together until they fuse. To seal the hole, lay the fusible bonding web over it and press down with wax paper.
Use Heat: Before placing the iron on the wax paper, make sure it is set to the « wool » setting. Remain still and press down firmly for around ten seconds.
Repeat the process of inspecting the mended hole by turning the garment right side out. You can use your fingers to seal the opening even more if necessary. To ensure a flawless repair, repeat steps 3 and 4.
It may take some practice to get the hang of it, but once you do, the hole will disappear.
