Clothes left damp for a few days..now smell!

Hello, hope someone can help,
Last week, I asked my son to take a couple of piles of washed clothes up to the of room that we dry clothes in- its very warm and I have a clothes airer and a dehumidifier- works really well..usually.
I'd shown him how to put them on the airer straight, so presumed he'd do that this time.
I went up to get everything for ironing, etc, a couple of days later, and discovered that he'd got sidetracked and left them all damp, in a big pile, in a warm room.
I dried them off, disowned my son(joke), and put the, away.
I've noticed now though that when you sweat or get too. Warm in them, they smell terrible. Not just me either, but any of the kids of my wife in them.
Is there any way of sorting this out?
There's some pretty decent t shirts and shirts in there, so it'd be a complete waste of money if I had to chuck them away.

Wash again with barcarbonate of soda in the washing powder tray and distilled vinegar in the softener tray, sounds odd but works...0
