Grandmother’s Secret Cupboard Cleaner: Fabric Softener + Mothballs

Fabric Softener: Leaves surfaces smelling fresh and helps lift dust and grime.

Mothballs: Act as a natural insect repellent, keeping pests away from clothes and pantry items.

Tips & Safety

Keep mothballs out of reach of children and pets—they are toxic if ingested.

Use in well-ventilated areas to avoid strong chemical smells.

Replace mothballs periodically to maintain effectiveness.

This trick is a clever blend of cleaning and pest prevention — something my grandmother swore by for decades.
