Musty Smell on Stored Clothing

RE: Musty Smell on Stored Clothing By debt free (Guest Post) 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!

That should work. PMZ 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.

Baking soda will remove most odors the first time around.

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.
