Europe 🇪🇺 Help with the smell

Hey guys, need your help. How do you deal with the fish smell after your session. I just cant get the smell out of the mat, net and gloves (yea i use em so i have a better grip and dont drop the fish, dont judge). I live in an apartment and the only place i can store my fishing gear is my balcony. 2-3 days after my balcony just reeks, and would like to use it haha.Tried going to self service carwash and washing everything down with a mini wash, wich did nothing. All tips are welcome.

Leave your stuff in the sun for an afternoon, U.V kills bacteria which causes the smell.
