Storing Homepage
Certain types of closet adaptations also promised to protect clothing from insect damage. Early on, builders determined that closets lined with aromatic red cedar could reduce moth damage to clothing. When homeowners or renters desired a cedar closet when it was not possible to use actual cedar wood, they could use products such as "Brown's Supercedar Closet Lining," a rolled veneer that could be hung like wallpaper in closets, to provide the smell necessary to ward off insects. Large infused paper garment bags such as "The Wayne Cedared Paper Wardrobe" and later, the "White Tar Garment Bag" could also create sealed environments or mini-closets to protect dresses, dress suits and uniforms without creasing or wrinkling them. The sealed bags could be stored in attics, basements, or closets, keeping out-of-season clothing safe while not in use.
