What causes small holes in my shirts?

Most likely they are caused from washing and drying them with clothing that have zippers.
If they are distributed randomly around the shirts, it could be some kind of insect nibbling on them. That would call for deep cleaning the dresser drawers and maybe adding some cedar chips.
If all the shirts have holes in the same area, such as near the waist, it could be pressure from a seat belt, clothing, snaps on jeans, buckles on belts, rough spot on a counter top edge.
Probably clothes moths or carpet beetles. They'll eat anything made of cloth.
I have reached this site because I have the same problem. 3 tiny holes in the front of my new & used tops that I have in my closet & in my drawers. I have had this problem for ? 6 years? and I have lived in this same house for 45 yrs. I am not doing anything different.
It is not bugs or washing machine! It is your quartz or granite countertops.
Not true I still have Formica I dont go anywhere where they have those countertops and the bar I go to is wooden and sealed
Nope: youre all wrong, it is moths and they like to bite around the navel area of your top. Its not belt buckles. They are attracted to the pheromones excreted from the belly button. Fact!
I really believe that all the people that have posted here, do not have holes in their tops from Counter tops, seatbelts or wearing jeans. Think about it. Has this been going on your whole life? You have always worn seatbelts. My car is 9 years old and i have never had holes in my shirts. We moved here almost 2 years ago. NEVER had this problem in the old house. I have new tops but also old tops. Makes no difference, I get holes in some of the cotton ones. It does occur towards the bottom.
This is such a mystery! I've been dealing with this I'll say for the past 6or 7 years now! Tiny pin holes in the same identical area across the stomach area more to the right side of the shirt. I don't wear jeans all the time I wear a lot of exercise pants that do not have any zippers or snaps or belt buckles that would wear on these tops. Brand new top put on for the second time yesterday and by the end of the day....Wella what do you know !!! I look down and to my amazement in my new shirt more tiny holes. Also I've never in the past had this happen. I have old Gap shirts from years ago that have been worn and washed dozens of times and no holes.
I have the same problem. The tops are usually good quality but are soft cotton. I think it's either from the shirt rubbing on the button of my jeans or the seatbelt pressing the shirt onto the jacket zipper or jeans zipper,
Same problem last few years since I got my front load washing machine. Hubby t-shirts also. Always same place. Front lower shirt.
CAN YOU TELL ME HOW TO GET RID OF THEM please
The reason that you've been facing this problem for 6-7 years is that around 2010-2011 the quality of clothing from clothing suppliers has become worse. My solution to this problem is that I order the clothing from a bulk reseller so that I can choose the gauge of the material.
Yes, my problem is the same.... Pinholes in different areas of my tops hanging in my walkin closet. Not from the friction of rubbing against anything. I think some kind of mite or insect. Help!
I feel you. All my shirts from the Gap get tiny holes and in random places. My shirts from target NEVER get them. I wonder if it has something to do with where the warehouse them or how they are shipped.
I believe they are mites bc I wore a brand new shirt ,while undressi g two holes in it!!
This is happening to clothes in my home as well for the past year now but my boyfriend who lives in my home for the last 7 years believes and nothing but that its my 19 year old daughter doing it to his clothes! His belief has caused so many problems as you could understand because my daughter denies it and I do not believe it. It continues to happen and to be honest its ruined what we had in our relationship. I cant even believe a post like this was written by me but here it is.
The little holes in the washing machine during the spin cycle. The clothes go through and get stuck then we pull it out and it cuts the fabric
