Packing Tips
Use the appropriately sized
boxes.
Never use newspaper to
wrap your posessions. Due to the open grain construction of
newspaper, the inks used in the printing process are not dried.
The ink will rub off and stain anything wrapped in it. Always
use clean, white paper for packing.

Protecting Wool
Moth. Scourge of the sweater
drawer. Moth larvae spend more than half their life cycle
consuming wool and specialty fibres like cashmere. Their cocoons
are hard to spot because they incorporate your sweaters fibres
into their construction. Perspiration salts and food stains
attract moths.
The surest way to protect
knits is to dry-clean each garment before storing.
The same goes for wool
carpets. Carpets destined for storage should be cleaned and
wrapped by professionals.
