My gloves never do either, actually, and I only wash them when they get muddy.
Sunlight/UV is so good. I confess I didn't really dive into this nearly as deep as I could have - it was more about framing context for the video, which I thought was good, funny, short, and important for all times, but esp now when we all have a little more time for maintenance and cleanliness.
Borax is on the shopping list, though, so I can try this.
Re: shoes, through the wet months using a shoe dryer does wonders for keeping them odour-free. In the summer, no chance, especially since leather riding shoes are so rare now.
