If your problem is just a lingering mold smell (and spores that are trapped in the fabric) then I would suggest using an ozone generator or finding a dry cleaner that uses ozone for such things.
Ozone is going to break down the mold smell, but it is also going to destroy the mold spores which prevents them from turning into active mold growth in the future.
You can rent ozone generators... looks like the top Google result for "ozone generator rental" eventually leads here: http://www.ozonesolutions.com
If instead you already do have mold actively growing on the cloth (might be worth a close inspection) then you will almost certainly need to have a professional look at it.

First find the source of the dampness that is causing the smell and fix that issue. You may need to replace drywall or flooring that has become too wet. Otherwise, cleaning with bleach or other mildew killing cleaner should reduce the issue. Make sure you have enough ventilation and air for the air to dry out.
