In case you want a quick fix, garment steamers are known to reduce the musty smell on clothes. If your clothes can be washed in washing machine, you should run them with a heavy-duty detergent and then air-dry them in your balcony.
PS. If your everyday clothes seem to smell too, you should consider cleaning your washing machine with a descaler or investing in a wardrobe dehumidifier.
Wrinkled clothes
