• Avoid using chlorine bleach excessively, as it can result in holes in clothing. Consider using environmentally-friendly alternatives like vinegar, citric acid, or baking soda.
• Moths are notorious for causing holes, especially in materials like wool, silk, and leather, but they can damage other fabrics too. To repel moths, you can place dried lavender in mesh bags or use essential oils like mint. If you have a severe infestation, wash your clothes in warm water and clean your closet with vinegar.
• Be mindful of rough surfaces such as bricks, nails, wood, and stone. Bumping or rubbing against these surfaces can lead to snags and holes.

No-Sew Hole Repair Method

You can fix holes in your clothes without sewing using this simple method. Here’s what you’ll need:

• Clothes with holes measuring 5 mm or less
• An iron
• Fusible bonding web
• A large piece of wax paper

1. Turn the damaged piece of clothing upside down, with the hole facing outwards, on an ironing board.
2. Cut a slightly larger piece of fusible bonding web than the hole itself.
3. Push both sides of the hole together and place the fusible bonding web over it. Then, place the wax paper over the same spot.
4. Set your iron to the “wool” setting and iron over the wax paper.
5. Check if the hole has disappeared. If not, repeat the ironing process two or three more times. Your damaged clothes will look as good as new!
