I just put them on and wash my hands in the sink. If they are really funky, I let them soak in soapy water. Rinse and drip dry. (There is nothing worse than stinky gloves!).

Apparently, I am the only person in the whole world who could not figure out to simply just wash the gloves. So I suppose that is exactly what I shall do then!! Thanks a million!
I also have four pairs of gloves and rotate through them. When I do cross country rides they get worn two or three times before they get washed. At home each pair gets washed (with sports clothes in washing machine and then air dried) after each wearing. This is because they are usually snotted and sweated through several times over by the time I finish a ride. I also rotate through my shorts and jerseys, for equal wear and tear and in the illusion that perhaps they will last longer.

I also throw them in with bicycle clothes (closing velcro so it doesn't snag my shorts) and hang to dry.
Oh, I remember the first time DH and I realized gloves needed to be washed. Ewww! We were rolling on the ground laughing when my sister got her first whiff! She asked the same question--"what do I do?" WASH EM
And I'll give you a hint--you're helmet may not smell much better. I wear a buff, and rinse my helmet out in the sink every once in awhile.

Actually WestTexas, I washed mine in the cold cycle and let them air dry but I was glad to see that is what other experienced riders do also.
