How to wash moldy clothes

I put the clothes in the closet without drying them, and when I took them out I found they were moldy. How to wash moldy clothes? The weather is humid in the summer. Clothes feel dry when you touch them, but they start to get damp when you put them in the closet. In addition, the closet is not ventilated, so the clothes have a musty smell when you take them out. Some of the serious problems even have black spots on them. My mother told me some methods to wash such clothes, and now I will tell you.
