The correct way to use mothballs

Mothballs have an insect repellent effect because their crystals can sublimate directly, that is, change from solid to gaseous, filling the entire wardrobe with smell, which can avoid insects and protect clothes. When using it, you should be careful not to place it directly, but wrap it in paper, or use the small package provided by the merchant, and place it in the corners of the closet, or you can consider hanging it. In short, do not let it come into direct contact with clothes. This will achieve better results and will not cause residue on the clothes.

Are mothballs harmful to the human body?

Most mothballs contain naphthalene as the main ingredient, which is indeed slightly toxic. However, under normal use, the gas it emits or the small amount of residue attached to clothing will not cause poisoning, so it can be used with complete confidence. However, if you come into contact with it in large quantities or ingest it by mistake, exceeding the safe dose, it may still cause poisoning. Therefore, if there are children at home, be sure to keep the mothballs away to prevent them from accidentally ingesting them. In addition, the room should be ventilated frequently so that the mothball components volatilized in the air can be discharged in time.

The correct way to use mothballs is very simple, and except for a very small number of people who are allergic to it, most people do not need to worry and can continue to use it as usual.
