Alkaline battery leak in my cabinet!

Here is what I did in more detail. Dont know if this resolved it, but it looks clean and smells fine. I blotted up what I could with a paper towel. I then used a vinegar/water solution and a toothbrush to scrub the area. Did that and blow dried the whole area till it was absolutely dry. Waited a bit and then used a baking soda/water solution and a toothbrush to scrub the area. This was to remove the vinegar smell, whatever was left of it. I cleaned it up, blow dried it good, and vaccummed the remaining baking soda. All seems to be alright now...
