I need to get a musty, moth ball odor out of some new plush animals so I can sell them. Any suggestions?

I have a bunch of new-with-tags plush animals which belong to my mother. I need to sell them but they have an odor which is musty/moth ball. What can I do to get rid of this smell?

Put them in plastic bags, sprinkle with baking soda. Seal the bag and shake good so the baking soda gets all over the animals. Let sit for several days, if possible let them sit in sunlight. Brush or vacuum the soda away.

    Febreeze, or Neutra air. These are the best things I know of to remove odors from fabrics.

    I would try putting a bunch of dryer sheets in with them for several days.in new bags or storage boxes.
