If that doesn't work and you're really worried about them being mixed with your sweaty socks, the $3 for a new one is your best bet.
Damn, where are you buying Fox40's for 3 bucks... cause I wanna know.

I keep mine in a small plastic dish. Before each game I take a small alcohol prep gause, the ones they use to clean a cut before you put a band-aid on, and clean my whistle.
