From storing kids clothes in the attic for 2 yrs at a time, I'd agree. Wash well, make sure they are BONE dry, and I put them in a garbage bag, seal, cardboard box so no bugs or whatever get in. Mine have never smelled musty/mildew-y.

I agree, clean clothes or sheets won't have a bad odor regardless of air circulation unless they have odor causing soil to begin with. Or if someone put a stinky pair of shoes in with them lol.

I know for a fact that some people can take sheets out of the dryer smelling ok, more like detergent or FS than when they come out of the linen closet they stink..the products just mask the odors awhile...what I've also noticed though is people that have the stinky sheets don't seem to smell it. I never could understand how they dont smell the rancid nasty odor. seriously I can walk into someone's house and know right off the bat that they wash in cold or cool water. Their home may be a show stopper, beautiful and clean..yet their bedding reeks to high heaven and the entire house smells if it. I've read posts in different forums of people spending a LOT of money to decorate their home but they cant use white sheets because they always turn yellow..so will the prints just not as noticable..so what a georgous home...but it stinks of old body odor..LOL.
