I used to put my gear away in the winter, but it was only a for a few months, November through January. Now it just rides around in the trunk of my car like it does the other 9 months of the year.
I clean my chest protector and shins by spraying with a water hose, then lay on the floor of the garage with a fan blowing on them to thoroughly dry them.
Between games I spray the sweaty side with Febreeze and wipe with a dry cloth.
