I'm sure I'd have to wash those things. I hate to wash fabrics and laces in the washing machine so I just soak and rinse. The real odor killer is fresh air and if the fabrics are old and have the old dyes in them I'd air dry them out of the sun.

Fabrics saved by the last generation in my family used cedar and mothballs - a frighteningly strong combo. Hung on coat hangers with clothes pins under the deck (in the shade) got rid of the odor in less than a day.
