You're fine. So many young women think their vagina is the smelliest, wettest thing out there and there's something wrong. There isn't. Wetness is good. It's a natural lubrication. You don't want to get rid of it so drastically. And the funny odour is you. Every woman has a scent. It's all a part of the attraction process of mammals.
I'm not sure what you mean by cleaning "very well", but I hope you know that all you need is water when dealing with the mucous membrane inside your vagina (Soap can be used around the exterior). Soap will only irritate your bodily tissue and push bacteria further up, disturbing your vaginal flora, which will actually cause infection, which will lead to, you guessed it, bad odour and gunk.
If you do develop a yeast infection, you'll know it. A little wetness like you describe is normal and expected.

i have the same thing. i worried about it also and i talked to my gyn about it and he told me that the vagina produces daily lubrication to keep everything down there..well moist. and as for the odor....every woman has her scent. if u get any itching,burning,irritation or strong odor then that isn't normal and could be a UTI or a yeast infection. whatever you do, do not do not use a doushe they have been proven to cause more problems opposed to fixing them. slightly scented wipes are good to use though.:)
