7 Reasons Holes Appear in Clothes After Washing

One Last Thing to Check

If you are sure that you’ve checked everything and all looks well, take a few minutes to survey your closet. Clothes need a bit of space so if you have everything crammed together, snags from other clothes can happen that get worse after laundering. If you must do a mixed load, protect delicate clothes by putting them in mesh laundry bags before placing into the washer. Collar tips and hems are the most likely to get caught between the drum and housing. It could also be critters eating holes in your clothes. If you see some insects, check them out and then get rid of them. In addition to moths, insects like silverfish, crickets, roaches, and carpet beetles can all cause holes in different types of fabrics.
