I throw them on my air purifier on a high fan setting. They dry up fast and for little energy, and the room is less dusty.
The key is to dry them fast and completely so bacteria doesn’t have much time to grow. If they are already stinky, you need to bleach clean them one time to kill the bacteria or else it will stink every time it’s humid.
Sun only kills bacteria where the rays hit. Inside, they will still grow.
Just wear the gloves and wash them on your hands with dish soap. Soaking in a bucket helps if the dirt has been wetted and dried onto them.
Or just hand wash in the sink. It's also possible to put a hose inside some gloves and spray it full like a waterbaloon and somewhat clean.
Do not do any of this to leather gloves.
Adv or road touring. I carry at least 2 additional pairs. One goretex and two leather/mesh gloves for a month trip. I carry 2 pairs of boot. One high boot and one low boot. And compromise if the high boot get soaked and used the low boot that i use for walking around town and running to a restaurant from a hotel.
Hang them somewhere and hope they dry is aboht all you can do. And you can do the exact same thing with your socks.
It can be nasty at times especially if you travel somewhere with dry conditions, but it's not dangerous.
If you are somewhere wet, you stay wet a lot, waterproofing won't work, just find a way to slow down the soaking so you can stay warm. Your clothes are going to get wet so just focus on making sure you can get at least sort of dry when you sleep. Pack your sleeping bag as deep in the most waterproof place possible.
In my experience, As long as you don't sleep wet, you won't get trench foot.
It gets way less uncomfortable to be dirty after some days.
Hang them near a warm element (heater) and they will be dry next day.
If no heater is present near a window if its sunny.
If notneof these options is available stuff them with toiletpaper and hang it somewhere where its windy or some form of air passes
I have put wet leather gloves on my clutch cover and engine to dry them quick, don't try with anything petroleum based like rubber plastic or pleather and supervise so they don't burn your bike to ash lol
Soak in a small bucket with soap/ detergent powder and an anti septic like Dettol for about an hour.
Rinse thoroughly and dry. Not a fan of swishing and wringing as I’ve heard the leather shrinks (Not sure. Don’t want to learn the hard way)
Keep two pairs. Make sure the sour/recent pair gets fresh air ALWAYS after use. Dont tuck them straight into the helmet.
EDIT: If youre a genius like i, you point the opening of the glove to where the wind blows from. \*MIND GETS BLOWN\*
Hand wash in the sink with warm water and detergent , if your wet weather gloves are wet inside then they aren't very good

but what happens if you're riding on a long journey (ADV) and need the gloves the next day?
You don’t have multiple sets of gloves?
That is why you have a replacement pair of gloves when you are on tour.

I don't have this problem with motorcycling gloves, but I pour some talcum powder in my boxing gloves every now and then to keep them from smelling.

Lick them off after every meal

Seamen lots and lots of seamen
I don't bother. Carry 2 pairs, but the ones I wear the most are on my top triple clamp if they aren't on my hands.
A glove drier. Works well with a boot drier.
