We did a deep clean of our bedroom today. This is due to me finding “carpet moths” over the last week. We had an infestation a few years ago. There always seemed to be 1 or 2 moths in the front room no matter how many I swatted.
We eventually found a “nest” under the TV unit. It was somewhere that we couldn’t vacuum easily. The moths live on/eat the wool in the carpet and lay their eggs in the carpet. If you don’t vacuum clean regularly you can get an issue (I’m not sure how the first pregnant female moth gets in but nature finds a way).
We spent about 5 hours, moved all the furniture and vacuumed like mad! We also had a good sort out of bedding that was stored under the bed. Some of it was old and worn – that went for recycling. Some was in good condition and went to charity. We also found some things that my wife will re-work with her sewing machine.
We are both a little tired but happy with the knowledge of a job well done. ( It has generated about 3 machines of laundry for tomorrow but still – needs must!)
Fun, family and more
