Rugs: moths

Be sure to get into all the dark corners and  under the radiators at least once a month. If the vacuum won't fit' use a stiff whisk broom. That wily enemy, the moth, loves nothing better than a warm dark spot where he can feed undisturbed on your best woolen fabric.

You just have to move the heavy davenport, that low-slung bookcase and even the piano occasionally, too.

More than one good housekeeper has found, to her horror, a whole regiment of moths having a merry picnic under the sofa.

If that should ever happen to you, call the cleaner and get your carpet out of the house as fast as possible. But it's much better to prevent such a catastrophe, so dig into the comers and under the furniture, and don't forget that little used guest room occasionally.
