Things You'll Need

Instructions

1

Fill a clean spray bottle with undiluted white vinegar.
2

Hang dry-clean only clothing from a hanger. Place the hanger over a shower curtain rod. Alternatively, hang the clothing outside on a clothesline. Keep the clothing out of direct sunlight and away from direct heat.
3

Spray the front and back of the dry-clean clothing liberally with the white vinegar. Allow the vinegar to air-dry on the clothing. Vinegar has a pungent odor. However, as the vinegar dries, its odor will dissipate and remove the musty smell with it.
4

Repeat the process if necessary. It may take several applications to completely remove the mildew smell from the clothing.
