Moth repellents help protect clothing stored in wardrobes and drawers from damage caused by moths and insects. Natural and scented repellents work by creating an environment that moths avoid, helping reduce the risk of holes in knitwear, wool garments and stored fabrics. Using moth repellents as part of your regular wardrobe care helps preserve clothing and extend its lifespan.
They are especially useful for wardrobes storing seasonal clothing or items that aren’t worn frequently.
Our moth repellent range includes cedar-based solutions such as hanger rings, blocks, balls and hang-up bars that sit neatly inside wardrobes or drawers. Cedar is commonly chosen because it naturally deters moths while keeping wardrobes smelling fresh. Hanging cedar pieces work well alongside garments, while balls and blocks suit drawers, shelves and storage boxes.
Scented clothing protectors and liners provide an alternative option, helping deter insects while adding a light fragrance to stored clothing. These products can be used on their own or combined with other wardrobe care items like moisture absorbers to help create a dry, protective storage environment.
Moth repellents are easy to place and require minimal upkeep. Cedar products can be refreshed over time to maintain effectiveness, while liners and protectors can be replaced as needed. Using moth repellents consistently helps reduce damage without the need for harsh chemicals, making them suitable for everyday wardrobe use.

Cedar naturally deters moths by releasing a scent they avoid. For best results, cedar products should be placed close to clothing and refreshed periodically to maintain their effectiveness.
Cedar products can last for years but may need refreshing as the scent fades. Scented protectors and liners are usually replaced according to the product instructions or when the fragrance weakens.
Cedar provides a mild, natural scent that usually fades once clothing is worn. Scented protectors offer a more noticeable fragrance, which some people prefer for stored garments.
They work best when placed near stored clothing, such as on hangers, shelves or inside drawers, rather than only at the base of the wardrobe.
