What do they sanitize bowling shoes with, maybe the more industrial the better, carcinogens be damned. Btw, people who sweat, often smell like it.
Ok, if you get an infection once a month or more from commuting then it is time to evaluate what might be causing it but I highly doubt a dry set of gear is going to do so. Fungal infections generally come on from keeping things moist and if you dry your shorts out it should not play a huge factor in a fungal infection. If you are a person that does get an infection on a recurring basis and it is due to commuting the solution is as simple as bringing a second pair of shorts. Again it is silly to sanitize things such as bike shorts. As bad as putting hand sanitizer needlessly on your hands once an hour.
