I beileve I remember reading that Galadriel cleansed Mirkwood & the Necromancer's place with her ring (that sticks in my mind because somebody asked "Why did it still work after the one ring was destroyed" and the answer was "the elven rings faded slowly, they didn't just melt immediately".)
And then, yes, Celeborn had business to attend to in the woods there.
