The least fun, but most reliable way to get rid of mildew odor is to empty
the closet and wash the walls, floor, ceiling and shelves with Lysol
(using the concentrate, mix 2 1/2 tbsps. to 1 gallon warm water). Rinse
with clear clean water after washing. Let the closet area dry completely
and air out. I would be tempted to zap it with a hot hair dryer to insure
no moisture remains, before refilling the closet.
If you prefer to try something less labor intensive first, cedar chips (like
for hamsters cage bottoms) in an open box might disguise/remove the odor.
Several open boxes of baking soda in the closet might also absorb the odor,
much in the same way it keeps a refrigerator fresh.
Good Luck!
