wash musty clothing in woolwash using fabric softener & air dry on clothes line.My daughter has a musty smell in her cupboard & i have just filled a clean small childrens sized empty yoghurt container 1/2 full with bi-carbonate soda or baking soda.Seal top of container with aluminum foil,poking foil gently with a fork or skewer to let musty smell to be absorbed by soda,put in a couple of hours ago & cannot smell the musty odour!

Wash them with your normal detergent, then hang them outside on the line for a couple of hours on a sunny, breezy day before drying them with a dryer sheet. That should work.

PS--Make sure to put used dryer sheets in between the layers of clothing in the bin the next time you store your summer or winter clothing. It helps keep them fresh-smelling, especially if they are sweaters.

I would wash with cup of baking soda and cup of white vinegar. It does work.

Wash the clothes again with detergent and a cup of baking soda. Baking soda will remove most odors the first time around.

toss in the dryer on air only-- then hang outside in the fresh air-- you might also use fabreeze on a towel in the dryer with the clothes-- good luck

If they are washable I would wash them with oxyclean. The stuff is wonderful. Also, you could lay each item out in the full sunlight for a good while. The sun kills mold and that is what you are smelling. Good luck.
