FAQs
Are these papers safe for my cashmere sweaters?
Yes, they are designed to be non-staining and safe for all types of delicate fabrics, including cashmere.
Do I need to hang them, or can I lay them flat?
You can do both. The hanging hole is for convenience on hangers, but they work perfectly well lying flat in drawers or storage bins.
How many papers should I use in one closet?
For a standard closet, using 2 to 3 papers spaced out effectively provides the best coverage. For smaller drawers, one paper is usually sufficient.
Do these kill moths or just repel them?
These are formulated as a natural repellent. They are designed to create an environment that moths avoid, rather than acting as an insecticide to kill existing pests.
Can I use these with other moth-repellent products?
It is generally recommended to stick to one type of repellent system to avoid clashing fragrances and ensure you are tracking the replacement schedule accurately.
Is the scent overpowering?
No, they are described as 'lightly fragranced' to keep your clothes smelling fresh without being overwhelming.
Troubleshooting
The scent seems to have faded.
The fragrance is linked to the active repellent properties; if the scent is gone, it is likely time to replace the paper, as it has reached the end of its 3-month lifespan.
Found a moth hole in a garment despite using the papers.
Check if the item was stored while dirty, as moths are attracted to food residue. Additionally, ensure the storage area is tightly sealed to keep the repellent concentration effective.

Setting up the Acana Moth Repellent Papers is straightforward. Simply remove a paper from the packaging and use the built-in hanging hole to slide it onto a coat hanger, or lay it flat within a dresser drawer or storage box.
Compatibility: These papers are designed to be safe for all fabric types, including synthetics, wool, silk, and cotton.
Care Instructions: To maintain optimal protection, mark your calendar to replace the papers every 3 months.
