place calcium carbonate crystals or activated charcoal in an open container and store with clothes in closet or sprinkle soda directly on fabric and let stand; then shake.

There is also Febreze Antimicrobial contains a special ingredient that eliminates 99.9% of odor-causing bacteria on fabrics. I have not used it, so I'm not sure about it, but so far with all the Febreze products I have used, I do like them!

Reply to Lindie's Post: By soda, I would assume that you mean baking soda? Where can I get calcium carbonate crystals or activated charcoal? Thank you for your help.
