What seemed like a harmless act of drying clothes almost ended in disaster. 
I had washed my son’s winter clothes and hung them outside. When I started taking them down, I noticed these weird yellowish round formations on the sleeve 
When I found out what they were, my heart nearly stopped. Please, if you notice something like this on your clothes, wash them immediately at a high temperature and iron them with a damp cloth on top
I explain what it was in the first comment — please be careful 
I had washed my son’s winter clothes — jacket, warm sweaters, scarf, and pants. It was a sunny day, so I hung everything outside, thinking the fresh air would help dry them.
It all seemed like a normal routine. But later, when I started removing the clothes from the line, my heart skipped a beat…
On the sleeve of one of the sweaters, I saw some strange yellowish round spots — tiny like millet seeds, but firm and clustered together.
At first, I thought it was just dust or pollen… But when I looked closer, it seemed like something was moving inside each little dot. I almost dropped the sweater in shock.
I rushed to search online for answers — and what I found made me panic even more: they were moth eggs. Real, disgusting, alive!
Experts say that moths can lay eggs on clothing, especially if it’s been sitting in the closet for a long time or is still damp. And if you dry your clothes outside, where insects live in the grass and bushes, the risk is even higher.
Apparently, the smell of natural wool or residual body oils attracted the moth — and it chose the sweater as the perfect spot to lay its eggs.
The scariest part is that the eggs are nearly invisible. They can stick to the fabric and sometimes even survive washing, especially when clothes are air-dried.
If not noticed in time, tiny larvae hatch, burrow into the fibers, and literally eat the fabric from the inside. The item is ruined — and other clothes in the closet may be affected too.
In a panic, I rewrote all the clothes at high temperature and ironed them with a damp cloth — that’s said to help kill the eggs.
Now I dry everything indoors or on an enclosed balcony. I also placed lavender sachets and cedarwood sticks in the closet — natural moth repellents.
Please be careful. Sometimes even the most innocent clothes drying can turn into a real problem.
