Clean it with a solution of white vinegar & water. That will help to remove all the stains in it easily and also sanitize and deoderize it.
Best of all, vinegar isn't toxic as bleach is.

You can use baking soda to remove the worst of the odors before actually washing it down.
toss a box of baking soda all over in there and close the door for a day. Then use the rinse to get that out and wash it down with vinegar!

Vinegar and water, or bleach and water both work well...I'd also suggest some baking soda to absorb the odor.
Hope that helps!
