you must find the mildew or mold source first- you can't get rid of the smell if you don't know where it is coming from- if it's drywall i have inserted a ehow link- http://www.ehow.com/how_2056875_eliminate-mold-from-drywall.html
you may need prfeesional help if you cannot locate it yourself- check for water damage and go from there Suggest you find where the mildew is located and remove it. One place to check is the A/C drip pan and the A/C ducts. If in A/C Ducts, need to clean or replace them. Also, look on line for mold and mildew remediation techniques.

Will freezing kill mildew?
Freezing slows the growth of mildew but does not kill it. (Same with dry conditions.) Once warm moist conditions return, the frozen mildew will continue to grow as if nothing happened. Thus freezing and drying serve more as mildew prevention measures rather than as mildew reduction measures. Techniques to reduce mildew include washing, bleaching, and sunning.

Does chlorine remove the odour of water?
If you mean the odor of mold or mildew caused from water leaks, yes, diluted chlorine in fresh water will help. However, chlorine--bleach--does NOT kill mold spores. You can put the dilution in a spray bottle CLEARLY MARKED with what's in the bottle. Or, use a broom wet with the dilution across concrete basement floors. Make sure it dries so you don't add more mildew and mold.Though it does not kill mold or mildew, either, spraying Febreeze (TM) high into the air and toward basement walls helps to decrease the mold-mildew odor.

Why a Green Carpet Cleaning Solution is More Effective?
It is difficult to find the right carpet cleaning solution for removing carpet odors. In fact, many people spend large amounts of money to get carpets and vehicles efficiently cleaned when odors are too strong to get rid of themselves. Many chemically based cleaning solutions simply mask bad smells but cannot remove them. Costly cleaning machines may leave you with a damp carpet that takes hours to dry, rendering the region unusable. In addition, such humidity may lead to even worse odors, associated with mildew and mold. The good news is that there is, in fact, a way to remove odors from carpets and it is totally eco-friendly.

How can you clean your knees?
One could cover the smell of the knee brace with FeBreeze, but it would not erase the smell. Try soaking it in 1/2 a cup of vinegar and hot water for one hour. Then rinse it with water. This will completely erase the mildew build-up, and would eliminate the odor.
