Frequently asked questions

How many Orphea strips should I use?

Give your clothing a delicate fragrance that is always effective. Place two Orphea strips in the drawers and in linen boxes, and in wardrobes use Orphea diffusers or up to four strips (two for each door). This way your clothes will be protected in just the right way!

How do I use Orphea diffusers?

Do you have lots of clothes and a very big wardrobe? No problem! You can use Orphea large wardrobe diffusers. They can protect very large wardrobes and give them a pleasant fragrance.

These diffusers are in pure cellulose with a plastic hook, ready to be hung up. You can choose from two different fragrances: Flowers and Lavender Maillette. Each package contains two diffusers, perfect for a big wardrobe.

Does Orphea kill moths?

No. Orphea is a clothes protector and, like all other products of its kind in the market, it does not kill moths.

It is actually moth larvae that eat fabric fibres, not adult moths. Therefore it is vital in your home to deter adult moths from laying eggs, that then hatch into larvae, to prevent your clothes from being eaten. Also remember that clothes moths are seldom seen because they avoid light, preferring dark and undisturbed areas such as closets, basements and attics, in the folds and corners of fabrics so they are close to a food source.1

Will Orphea stain my clothes?

No. Orphea is completely natural, made from plants, and has no nasty chemicals that may stain clothes or linens.

To be safe and sure, especially for very delicate fabrics, you can test it in an inconspicuous area first. Of course another option is to use a diffuser, which is hung inside a wardrobe rather than directly touching your clothes, or to place the strips nearby but not actually touching the fabrics you are concerned about.

Is Orphea available in stores?

Orphea is available to purchase here on this site, dispatched from local stocks and delivered to your door. We are working towards making Orphea more readily available in retail stores.

I don’t have a credit card, how can I purchase Orphea?
