    Ah so really desperate to save the gloves?
    Take onion quarters, dip one side in baking soda, allow to dry and put them in the fingers.

    What is left of the smell is probably in there.
    Also to reduce smells in wet gloves when drying take a long neck glass bottle fill with hot tap water repeatedly empty and put the just emptied but not dried bottle neck first into the middle finger of the glove.

    This speeds up the drying process.
    An ex used to put a couple of drops of essential oils into the bottle to make them smell all flowery.

    Result.

    It did reduce smell of gloves incredibly but still there is smell.

    Also it took so much of dye out so now my gloves lost bit of colour lol

    I'm just gonna use this glove till end of the year and buy new one next year (also planning to upgrade my bike).



    Thank you all for advices!!!!




    But yea just final question, I did ask in my last post, would grandsremedy work? If so how should I do it? do I put the powder inside the gloves or out side and rub surface of gloves?

    Put the powder inside and outside of your gloves, then put gloves in a plastic bag until you wear them again. wipe off the powder on the palm and fingers before you ride so your hands don't slip on the controls.

    GRANS REMEDY WORKS
    Shake it into your glove, help it get into the fingers by putting your hand in to push it down.
    I actually turned my gloves & fingers inside out, BIG MISTAKE, big trouble getting them turned back and comfortable again.
