How To Prevent & Get Rid Of Fabric-Eating Moths

Part of living well, within your mean involves taking good care of your things. In my recent closet clean out, I've taken extra step to ensure myself a bug-free experience with the information that follows from Home Hacks...although I'm stopping short of putting my sweaters in the freezer!

If you're like me, you find mothballs equally as bad as the moths themselves. Here's the scoop on natural moth repellents that actually smell good.

What You Need

Ingredients

Moth repellents – cedar, herbs, essential oils

Tools

Washing machine or dry cleaner

Vacuum

Airtight containers

Iron
Freezer

Instructions
1. Moths are attracted to soiled fabric, so launder or dry clean clothing before placing it in extended storage. Laundering in hot water also kills moth eggs and larvae.

2. Regularly and thoroughly vacuum the closet and surrounding areas. Moths like dark places such as corners, baseboards, edges of carpets, under furniture, etc. If there are signs of infestation, discard vacuum bags outside, away from the home.

3. Store susceptible clothing (wool, silk, fur, and other animal fibers) in airtight boxes or bags. Make sure there are no holes and seal with packing tape for extra insurance.

4. If you have signs of infestation, ironing clothing can kill moth eggs and larvae.

5. Freezing is also said to kill eggs and larvae. You can even store sweaters in the freezer!

6. Cedar repels moths if it has a strong enough odor. Look for it in the form of blocks, balls, hangers, or boxes and sand it with sandpaper every few months to revive the scent.

7. You can purchase moth repellent sachets, but it's also easy to make your own. Fill fabric pouches, tea bags, wiffle balls, or just a bowl with moth-repelling herbs or essential oils like lavender, rosemary, mint, thyme, cloves, peppercorns, lemon, eucalyptus, and ginseng. Refresh every few months, and enjoy the bonus of a nice smelling closet!

Decorating Inspiration from Film Sets

Last night was Oscar Night. Here in Los Angeles, that's like Christmas, your birthday and Halloween all rolled into one. It got me thinking about the influence that film has on interior design.

A few years ago, I was a design consultant for Williams-Sonoma Home. That brand's style was highly influenced by Nancy Meyer's films, in particular the movie "Something's Gotta Give." I was lucky enough to work with Nancy to help her select a few items for her home. She told me that the first catalog Williams-Sonoma Home released included duplicates of her sets. She also gave credit to her designer, James Rudin.

Here are some photos of Nancy Meyer's film sets that you can use as inspiration for your own homes.

That's Nancy above on the right talking to Kate Winslet.

Spiritual Food for Thought

Ready for some Sunday morning spiritual food for thought? Check out these three videos from shiftinaction.com's series called "One Minute Shift." Just one minute each, but filled with long lasting thoughts. Don't you love that?

Letting Go of Guilt Gifts

“If there is anything in your life that takes away your happiness, you have all the power you need to change it. You don’t have to live with anger, or sadness, or jealousy. You don’t have to judge yourself, make yourself guilty, and punish yourself." Don Miguel Ruiz - Prayers

A big Upside to Downsizing is the opportunity to rid yourself of Guilt Gifts. What are Guilt Gifts, you ask? They're the things that make you feel lousy because they cost more than you could afford, they were never used, they would hurt someone's feelings if you got rid of them, they're broken but expensive, they're emotionally valuable because you inherited them, but you'll never use them.

Your home reflects your life and your life is reflected in your home. If anything in the home evokes negative feelings such as guilt, it can energetically weigh you down and hold you back from attaining your goals.

So my challenge to you is to locate anything in your home that triggers feelings that lower your energy.

• The ugly gift from your aunt who looks for it when she visits so she can remind you how heavy it was to carry it all the way home from the rainforest.
• The framed photos of the spring break trip with friends you stopped speaking to (for good reason) years ago.
• The collection of kitty motif items from your mom who doesn't get the fact that you stopped collecting them at age 15.
• That blouse you bought yourself as a special treat. Yeah, the one with the tags.
• And the cigarette jeans you swore years ago you'll fit into again someday.

Swap 'em, recycle 'em, donate 'em...do what must be done. This is your opportunity to start fresh. The freedom you can feel from this is a big Upside.

Healthy Paint, Healthy Home

Last weekend's rain were not only harsh outside my home, but they did a number to the inside, too. Unfortunately, my bathroom, bedroom and closet ceilings needed repair. Yesterday, as the handyman was working on it, I was at my computer when a massive waft of paint fumes hit me. I instantly felt a headache and became nauseated from the HAP's (Hazardous Air Pollutants) and VOC's (Volatile Organic Compounds).

Thank goodness I was able to stop the process and convince my handyman to switch to eco-friendly paint.

I've gotten so used to only working with zero VOC paints that it never occurred to me he might use anything else. Hey, if my job involved inhaling toxic chemicals all day long and non-toxic alternatives were marketed all over the paint store, I'd use them. But instead, once again, I was reminded that we greenies are still the minority.

Recently, my living room and dining were painted with zero VOC paints. I never smelled a thing. No headaches, no rough nights of sleep from the smell, and best of all, I had peace of mind knowing that there will be no continued off-gassing for years to come.

When choosing paint, I try to go with zero VOC. In case you want to use low-VOC paints, here's Green Seal's GS11 environmental standard:

If your paint has higher levels, avoid it. There are just plain too many no VOC or low VOC alternatives these days.

And if your painter balks, let him or her know that it's not just healthier for you, it's healthier for painters, too.

Recycling Phone Books

It seems like every few months I get a new phone book of some sort left at my door...and I never use them! You, too? It's such a waste to have these bulky books go straight into the recycling bin. The folks at smart2begreen.com have solutions...

It is estimated that approximately 540 million phone books are delivered each year, and over 700,000 tons of phone books are thrown out every year.

Calling on You

Millions upon millions of phone books are delivered to U.S households every year. This equates to hundreds of thousands of pounds of paper being thrown out annually. If you want to stop this senseless waste, here's how to opt out of your current scheduled delivery of paper phonebooks while still maintaining your ability to find local businesses, services, and individuals.

• To opt out of future deliveries of your local phone book, simply look for the number of the publisher in the book itself. Call the number and tell them that you want to opt out of future directories.
• Other opt out options include signing up to be removed from local distribution lists through sites such asYellowPagesGoesGreen and Paperless Petion.
• To recycle old, unused phonebooks, simply place them in your curbside-recycling bin. In some regions, separate recycling is required and can be found at Keep America Beautiful.
• Use online phone directories. There are many great online resources for finding local businesses, services, and individuals.
