Step by Step of: How to remove the musty smell of clothes.

What you will need to wash it:
• Apple vinager.
• Baking soda.
• Soap and / or detergent that you use.
• Softener.
• Hot water.
• A sunny day to tend and the sun helps remove stains.
• Anti-humidity or gray jars or a piece of coal.

Soak the garment overnight in water with a cup of vinegar, it can be white or apple.

You can add 1/2 cup of baking soda for better results.

Rinse with plenty of water and dip in softener.

If necessary, repeat the process to eliminate all the fungi you may have. Tend to the sun for enough time.

Before re-stowing, make sure there is no garment with a musty smell, otherwise it will contaminate again. Therefore, we recommend you to wash all the clothes that present the problem in the same way, air the closet or drawers and place anti-humidity jars. If you do not have them, you can put inside the closet or drawers, chalk or a piece of coal; these will absorb moisture and help you solve the problem.
