Sometimes I find a hole in my cotton T-shirt and underwear...?

I thought that no bugs eat cotton stuff, but wool items. Is this a bug? Or it is from laundries? If a bug ate it, the cedar ball thing works for this, too?

    Sometimes belts can rub against the fabric, causing holes on the bottom of t-shirts. I've never heard about this happening to underwear, but who knows?

    Ceder chips and lavender both work well against bugs if that were to be the problem, though.

    hi Bronwyn. Septogenarian is right related to the braided rugs. they are snug and magnificent and undemanding to scrub. you additionally can decrease or tear the previous clothing and fabrics into strips for crochet, or for weaving or twining. you do no longer % a posh loom to make a woven or twined rug, you're able to make an undemanding one from good sticks or recycled boards. Patchwork quilts are a great thank you to recycle previous clothing and it relatively is relaxing to look at a chew of fabric and bear in mind that previous shirt or dress that became a ordinary. in case you stitch, use the fabric for purses, procuring bags, hats and different upload-ons. The legs of previous denims make great kit bags for camping out, athletic kit and such. have relaxing recycling!

    Using bleach on cotton clothes can cause small holes.
