Moldy clothes smell

As we are full timers I keep a lot of seasonable clothes in suitcases in our basement storage of our MH. Unfortunately they start smelling moldy. I've heard using dryer sheets but would like to use non-scented ones. Would that work?

Any suggestions are appreciated
  • What are the best bags to use? It seems people who've used Ziploc brand aren't pleased in that they inflate after a few weeks.
  • I was also going to suggest the space-bags. We part-time, full-time from April until September, so we need warmish clothing in the spring and fall, but mostly shorts and Ts for the summer. That's where the space bags come in. The clothes take up less room, have no chance of absorbing odors or moisture and come out smelling the same way they were put into the bags.


    These are the ones I use:

    They are not Ziploc
  • We put our out of season clothes in space saver vacuum bags before stowing them in the basement or under the bed. They smell just as fresh when we open them again as they did when we put them away.
