    Put em in the freezer, kills the bactaria and the smell if you dont want to wash em.
    My biggest fear is that should I crash, burn and die, my Wife would sell my stuff based upon what I told her I paid for it.

    Soak them in detergent solution for 1 hour, rinse.
    Don't soak too long, some gloves may harden.

    Cold doesn't kill bacteria, heat does.

    So you should burn your gloves after wearing them!

    Doesn't kill, but stops them growing. Hence an empties camelbak bladder in freezer = no mould.

    So long as it didn't have any in the first place. If it did you've just frozen the bacteria to resume when it defrosts. Mmm, nice.

    Anyway... Smell The Glove

    But mould isn't a bacteria, it's a mould.

    Yeah, fungi.

    Either way, bacteria or fungus can be the cause of smelly gloves and freezer sorts them both out. Also makes Vodka nice (freezer that is, though mouldy potato Vodka... hmm).

    Nothing makes vodka nice!

    OP, as everyone else has said, just bung them in the washing machine.
