TO ORGANISE YOUR PANTRY MOTHS There are more than 2,500 types of moth in the UK, and some of these pesky creatures will damage your clothes. You might find several large holes beyond repair


in your favourite items, or large-scale infestation in vintage clothing. This is because moths love clothes made from natural fibres, and they don't care how important or expensive the


item is. Nicola said: "To prevent pesky moths from attacking your clothes, fill linen drawstring bags or pop socks with a handful of dried lavender. "Hang it inside your wardrobe


to repel the moths." DON'T MISS... HOW TO GET RID OF MOTHS - NUMBER IN THE UK RISING [EXPLAINER] MOOD BOOSTERS: 10 FOODS TO EAT TO CHEER YOU UP DURING LOCKDOWN [INFORMER] HOW TO


CLEAN THE OVEN [EXPLAINER] SPACE Not everyone has a huge walk-in wardrobe, so it is important to make the most of what you've got. Nicola advised: "If you don't have space in


your wardrobe to hang all of your clothes, you can store your seasonal items separately. "In spring and summer pop your winter wardrobe away in moth protective bags, and vice versa.


"Then, store the bags under your bed or in the loft." DECLUTTER Start off by removing sections of your wardrobe and either place them on your bed or on a free-standing clothes


rail, said Nicola. Nicola said: "Keep the clothes that make you smile. "If you haven't worn something in two years, then it's a sure sign you don't really like this


item, or maybe it doesn't fit. "Decide whether you are going to make the effort to get back into this item or if it can benefit someone else." ORGANISE There's no hard or


fast rule to organising, said Nicola. It's all personal preference, as what works for you wouldn't necessarily work for someone else. Nicola said: "Consider your space and


how you'd like to see your clothes." Possible options include ordering the garments by colour, category, or season. She added: "Once it's done, you will be totally in


control again. "You will be calmer, focused and feel on top of the world."
