I don't think using lysol in one is a good idea! I would run it for a
while and see if that dries it out. I've found that Amway's Pursue spray is
great for getting rid of odors, just spray it in the area not in the
machine. Perhaps you should get a portable dehumidifier and run it in
there to keep down the moisture. It can't be good for the computer either.

Don't laugh. I'm getting complaints around
here about one of my computers
the SMS-1000 (PDP-11/73) smelling of mold and mildew, and have been asked
to either remove it, or spray it down with Lysol. How safe is it to spray
a computer down with Lysol? Obviously I'd not run it for a while if I do.
