How do you get rid of the smell of mothballs on clothing?

We stored our winter clothing over the spring and summer. I put all my woolens into a tupperware container that was almost airtight, but not quite. I included a mothball that was inside three plastic baggies. Well, here we are a few months later and the clothes still smell horrendous!

We’re not allowed to hang clothes where we live. Is there any other way to get rid of the mothball smell?

    Through them in the dryer with a dryer sheet.

    stop using moth balls, as that shit is old and died out in popularity in the sixties.

    Try the dryer trick, but you may just have to re-wash all of them.

    Next time, use cedar blocks instead of mothballs. It repels insects just as well and has a pleasant odor. Cedar blocks last for many years. If the scent dissipates, just sand lightly with sandpaper to revive it.
