Vinegar is a good disinfectant because of its acidity. If you "neutralize" the odor with baking soda, you will DECREASE the acidity, and probably decrease its germ fighting ability.
Vinegar is a great cleanser. It kills around 90% of germs, 90% of viruses and 80% of mold. It is also friendly for the environment. If you hate the smell neutralize it with bicarbonate of soda">soda. Remember that the percentages is not completely accurate.
