“Step 1 The old fashioned, and least expensive way to remove mothball odor is to expose the item to as much fresh outdoor air as possible for several days (bring it in at night). It is best to hang the clothes in the sun on and off for at least a week. This seems to work especially well if the clothes are hung dry, before attempting to wash them even once.

Step 2 White vinegar works as an odor remover. It works well on mothball odor, mildew smelling towels, body odor, and other offensive odors.
