Start by going through the clothes, if it is large dark spots of black mold, through them away, no means of rescue. small mold marks, such as dots or small lines, you can soak in vinegar regular overnight and washing, washing machine if you put 2 or 3 cups of vinegar with it.
Cedar is great for removing mites or any other type of bugs. Instead of making chips, I would go to the store of local timber and take a few cons of cedar or plywood particle board and put it in the closet. It is not difficult to cut, just be careful to do so, you'll need a cheap skill saw or a jigsaw. Cut to fit at least the end wall, the bugs will leave quickly and quietly.
Storage in plastic containers is good if they are already dry, and if you put a block of cedar incense in with him. K-Mart used to sell small blocks, do not know if they do they merged with Sears, a lumber yard may or may not cedar incense. It is the red cedar lumber pretty blonde outside it. Sometimes you can get cedar chips of incense in a bag like Lowe's or Home Depot and put in some sticky and place them in your storage space. A cedar chest would be a good investment for clothing storage well. It will keep your clothes fresh and bug free. Expect to spend $ 100 or more on a cedar chest decent. If your clothes have mold I am sure that your house has black mold. black mold can cause major problems of respiratory tract, even kill you if you do not seek medical help as soon as you notice a problem breathing. So, wear a mask or handkerchief over your face while working there. The mold can be killed with vinegar and bleach. Either one works fairly well, mix them together, they work great. Spray and wipe.
