I have a wool skirt that smells musty it was stored in a plastic container along with some Christmas ornaments, magazines, stuffed animals, craft items. They all smell musty and the container also. Can these smell be removed and will it come back? I want to keep these items and not get rid of them.

I would spray down the skirt & stuffed animals with some fabric freshener & toss them in the clothes dryer for a few minutes. I would also spray the other things with the freshener too. Of course, try it in an inconspicious place first, to make sure it won't damage the color.

try spinkling come baking soda on the bottom of the bin, or get one of those arm and hammer fridge baking soda boxes. I use baking soda to eliminate odors around my house.

I have never tried this but read somewhere that vinegar will remove mildew and the musty smell of mildew. And the smell of vinegar does not linger. I told this to a good friend who has a boat and with the wetness on a boat there was also mildew. So he tried it (could not use bleach on colored carpet) and said it worked great, and he was suprised. Now he keeps a spray bottle of vinegar on the boat to stay ontop of the mess.
