How and what do you recommend to neutralize this smell. I've spayed to area with a bleach solution to prevent any mold.

If it still smells it's still wet so first you need to dry it out.
Try a dehumidifier.

What is the smell in/on?
I have a small hunting camper that I mostly use during hunting season only. I keep the A/C running to keep it from mildewing.
Also have some DampRid in there. It's hanging bags that absorb the moisture. Change them out every 2 weeks. DO NOT let the bags burst. Stank

All the above suggestions and try putting open sheets of newspaper. I've used that before to absorb the rank smell of a freezer that defrosted/went without power x 2 wks in August

A microban cleaner will work if you can get to where the smell is coming from. I used it in my garage walls when my beach house flooded. Kills mold and makes it smell better. Grainger sells it. You can also find it on amazon. As someone else stated, fix the cause first.

Had a small leak in the kids bathroom. Got it fixed. I sprayed the bleach solution and dumped baking powder in it. I guess the the BS didn't dry and the smell is worse. I shopvaced the soda up and have a fan blowing now. I'm going to try charcoal and kitty litter.

Ha, definitely did not get it all then.
Got AC in there? Turn the AC down and run a box fan in there. It's just as good as a dehumidifier.
Also try baking soda and vinegar in a spray bottle to kill the mold. It's nicer than bleach.
