Here's the "Solution"
I had a brand new bedspread, that picked up a musty smell from an RV we had used. I tried everything, to get the odor out. Of course I could not use bleach on this fabric. A musty odor is almost impossible to get rid of, once an item has been exposed, no matter how clean you get it! Ahhh, at last, I remembered that I still had some "Simple Solution Stain and Odor Remover" on hand. You can buy it at most pet stores. It's the best thing I have ever found, for removing the smell left in the carpet from our aging, incontinent kitty. It has never damaged my carpets, so I thought, why not?!

I have had a problem with my water heater leaking in my basement and leaving a ton of water on the floor. I didn't notice until it was too late, that some dark clothing got wet and sat in the water for some time.
I am looking for way to remove the musty smell from clothing that has been in storage.
I have gym clothes that I am ready to replace due to a musty smell. They are not too old and they appear to be in good condition otherwise.
How do you get the smell out of clothes and towels that have a moldy, unfresh odor?
Last spring I put my winter clothing in my garage. Now that I am getting them out, they smell very musty. What can I do to get rid of the smell?
My basement flooded and all of our son's clothes got soaked and started to smell musty within that day. We washed them, but they still smell.
I have a very small closet space in my room, therefore I have to store my clothes in my basement in a closet during the off seasons.
I have some clothing that was in storage and became damp. So far there isn't any mold just a musty smell.
