Use Bleach.

Just wash it off with water, or if you are fussy add some soap, if really fussy add some disinfectant, bleach or Milton fluid.
I always leave the cap of my rod tube for a few days to allow the damp to dry, never get mould! Same as with waterproof fly boxes, leave them open to dry so as to prevent rust under the dressings.

Whenever my cork handles start getting dirty and smelly I scrub them with SOS/Brillo Pads. Makes them look like new !!

I've not had to do it in a while, but Milton fluid (baby bottle sterilising fluid) worked for me.

Stop puting your rod handle section away damp and you won't get the smell, allow the handle to dry naturally overnight before storing away in the sock and tube until next trip.
