So, you pack up all your thick woolen jumpers, jackets, and a few mothballs and store them away for the season.

Why Do My Clothes Smell Like Mothballs?

Mothballs give a toxic vapor to deter insects and emit a mild scent. Clothes are made from millions of small fibers that cling to scents.

How to Remove Mothball Smells From Machine Washable Clothing

Removing mothball smells from clothing is relatively easy, but they won’t go away on their own. Simply airing out the garments won’t help.
