you are supposed to use soap, comes in little bars? removes dirt? everyone but you seems to use it? :P

Hand wash them - ha ha!

no seriously, basin of hot water, with some persil, stick the gloves on and wring your hands. Drain filthy water and then rinse with cold.

I've never seen it so therefore it doesn't exist.

Just because it didnt exist for medieval peseantry doesnt mean its not a good thing

I regularly hang out my motorcycle gear in the garden (but not in
this weather, of course). This is the only solution I have found.
Never had problems with gloves but my pants sometimes have to spend
several days in the garden at a time.

With gloves I have another, quite bizarre problem. My reserve pair
is from Lidl (£4.99). When these reserve gloves get really wet
the paint starts coming off and my hands become dark blue.
Almost impossible to wash off later. Gives me the appearance of a
well decomposed corpse.

The following advice is B.A.S.A.T. compliant.

Stick 'em in the freezer overnight - this kills the bugs that make the smells.


Obviously, let 'em thaw out again before wearing 'em

HTH.
