Alternate translation: “handkerchiefs or aprons that Paul had worn or used”

ἀπαλλάσσεσθαι ἀπ’ αὐτῶν τὰς νόσους
/to_be_being/_released from them the diseases
Luke is speaking of these illnesses as if they were living thing that could depart from a person. If it would be helpful in your language, you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: “God cured them of their illnesses”
