    Buy couple of bags of plasterer's lime, crawl under the house and disperse it over the wet area. It will dry out the dirt quickly and will kill the smell in the process. Also, it will kill bacteria.

    Lime can be purchased in Home Depot or masonry yard for few bucks a bag.

    Important: wear good respirator mask, gloves, goggles and overall while handling Lime.
