Remove mildew smell from brick floor.?

Brick floor in living room smells musty. I discovered hot water heater had a leaking pipe fitting and water was seeping into room. The grout started to turn white and smelly. I have run a fan for the last 7 days over the floor to dry up moisture. Have left windows open to allow fresh air inside. Floor is no longer moist to the touch.

Will mopping area with mild bleach water or pine cleaner type product stop problem?

    Use dilute Hydrogen Peroxide bleach -- then Lysol.

    Yes that would really help. I would have actually scrubbed it with a bleach/soapy water. Use a scrub brush if necessary.

    Then put the fan on it again. You could use Febrese if you have any.
