Moth repellent? So what’s wrong with the old tried and true European method of keeping the Peepot in the clothes closet. That ammonia smell keeps all the bugs out.

I’m glad you posted this. I was on a tour of a castle in Ireland (Trim Castle) recently and the guide discussed the function of the garderobe. In addition to being a ‘privy,’ it also functioned as a wardrobe for the very reason you cited.
In the past, I would’ve thought ‘bs’ but this guide was so knowledgeable. Now, your confirmation seals it. Fascinating if a little revolting.
Think of the squallier that was 1900 New York City was. Very little indoor plumbing and 3.4 million humans. 200,000 horses making 25-37 pounds of poop daily.
