How can I remove the smell from a wool rug?

I have a wool rug that I left in my garage for many years. Because of that it has developed a musty smell from the humidity. It doesn’t have mildew, just a funky smell. What can I do to get rid of it? Thanks.

    Take it outside & let it air out- try spraying with white vinegar.

    You could sprinkle baking soda on it and let that sit for a few hours. Then vacuum as usual.
