How to get mildew smell out of clothes: White vinegar and baking soda may help, but don't put vinegar directly in your washer

Mildew odors in your laundry can be an annoying issue, often caused by trapped moisture and insufficient air flow. To tackle these smells, consider using white vinegar and baking soda. Pre-treating with vinegar prior to a regular wash works wonders in eliminating the unpleasant scents. Always make sure your clothes are completely dry before putting them away to avoid future mildew growth.
