    Bruh, I'm telling y'all, the smell is real lol!

    Just make sure you dry it! LOL. I do the same with my hand wraps. Let them air dry, rinse it out in hot water and hang dry it again, every time after practice.

        Just leave a dry laundry bar soap inside and leave it outdoor for enough air movement. 100% works

          Bar soap? Wouldn't that leave residue?
          I could see using dryer sheets for smell...

            Just a bit... I've been using the same bar soap for more than a year already and yeah, it's shrinking but not that much... Just leave it inside, no need to wash. The stronger the smell of the soap the better

I use a sports equipment sanitizer spray and then hang the gloves on my homemade glove rack to dry. I sweat like crazy when training but my gloves have zero smell after a couple years.

                On the outside, I'll use leather cleaner on my white Winnings periodically to keep them looking clean but I wouldn't bother for any other color.
                what sort of leather cleaner? brand or any generic one okay?

                Looking at buying some winnings as well. I'm thinking blue but if not blue, then it will be white for sure.

                  If you can find a leather working store in your area, they will have the best cleaner/conditioners. The stuff they sell for shoes and purses at walmart and such can sometimes contain softening agents you don't want. The best I've found so far is "Dr Jackson's" leather cleaner. I use it every so often and it gets out the stuff that a damp cloth can't do alone. Using a conditioner like neatsfoot oil will keep them from cracking. Winnings last forever so taking care of the leather isn't a bad idea.
