Washing Machine Leaked

The washing machine leaked on Friday night but luckily, I caught it relatively quickly thanks to a water sensor placed back there. The cabinet on the left absorbed some water on the bottom part, about 2+ inches high at its max. The water did not make it to the baseboard and wall where the dryer vent hose is nor to the other side of the cabinet before I caught and started cleaning up. I also looked behind the cabinet and no water was there. I added two pictures of the same area, one zoomed in and one zoomed out. https://imgur.com/a/EeIJHdY I've been running a fan 24x7 since Friday night and a dehumidifier since Saturday. The entire area is dry, the wood included but it feels a bit soft to the touch and the color is still the same. Is there anything that can or should be done to the cabinet's wood on the bottom? Or is the color and softness permanent? Anything else I should be doing? Thanks. submitted by /u/bstundr [link] [comments]
