After the hurricanes they advised victims of flooding to spray bleach on everything. I have had 5 floods in my bottom floor apt (I live in a desert climate but neighbors with leaks combined with gravity makes me the victim) and the company that does the "drying out" always uses bleach. It is great on wood too.
