Ed, I forgot to add that I hang them on a line in my basement laundry room (dehumidifier is running in basement all summer)to dry. I used to leave them damp too but if they sit damp folded over in a bucket too long they will stink for sure.
I always put a few in a bucket half full of hot water and snap the lid on tight when I head out to a job. Hardware stores sell 5 gal buckets with snap on lids pretty cheap. Mine has a rubber seal in it so if the bucket tips you don't have hot water everywhere and it keeps them nice and warm. They all get gray/dark gray and it drives me nuts too, but they are clean anyway. I use them till they get thin and come apart.
