A cedar chest is a storage chest, typically made of or lined with cedar wood, used for storing clothing, linens, and other textile items to protect them from moths and other pests. The aromatic oils in the cedar wood act as a natural insect repellent, preserving the integrity of natural fibers like wool and silk. These chests also serve as furniture and can be heirlooms passed down through generations, often used for storing precious items like handmade quilts or off-season clothing. Primary Uses Pest Protection: The most significant use of a cedar chest is to provide protection against clothing moths and other fabric-damaging pests. Storage for Textiles: It's ideal for storing natural fiber clothing, blankets, linens, and other heirlooms. Heirloom Storage: Cedar chests can be used to safeguard valuable items, such as wedding dresses, quilts, and other family keepsakes, for future generations. Attractive Furniture: Beyond its practical function, a cedar chest can also be an attractive piece of furniture in a home. Important Considerations Aromatic Effectiveness: While effective, the insect-repelling qualities of cedar wood are not permanent and can diminish over time. Fiber Compatibility: Cedar wood's acidic nature can be harmful to some fibers, such as cotton, linen, and rayon, so it's essential to seal the wood or store these items.
