I like Clorox Clean Up spray cleaner. It contains bleach and does a great job of getting white fabrics spotless even though it’s not marketed as a laundry product.

Spray it on, let it sit a few minutes, scrub with a brush and then rinse thoroughly. It’s not as hard on the fabric as straight bleach.

Pour undiluted white distilled vinegar into a spray bottle. Vinegar is great at getting rid of mold/mildew, and it also eliminates the bad odor. Spray the vinegar onto the affected areas. Let it sit for several hours, ideally outside in the sun.
Use warm, sudsy water to wash it, and let it dry in a clean, dry place.

I would try 1 of 2 things. Either grease lightning (usually works for just about anything) or oxiclean. Generally I find what oxiclean cant clean grease lightning will and vis versa.
