Autoclave...: It will create a noticeable odor when autoclaved due to the high temperature. Treat is as a wrapped item so that it is exposed to heat and pressure for the proper amount of time.

Simple solution: Wet rag wheels should be stored in disinfectant solution after each use and then heat sterilized.
