I would guess an empty cigar box or some cedar strips might have prevented this, but that is only a guess.

A thorough wash with baking soda should clean it up.
Well it's not sealed yet. I still haven't plugged the drain. I wanted to see how I held RH before plugging it.

But yes, I'll probably give it a thorough wash with baking soda, let it dry, and then repeat. My drawers from Forrest come tomorrow, but I am in no rush. Better to fix the problem early, than deal with it later.
