Pull liners after skiing so they dry out all the way and use foot powder.

Also maybe put them in the sun so the UV kills the germs

There is no way. Your room will smell. Your girlfriend will leave you. Your parents will abandon you. Lifties wont let you on the lift. All will be lost.

This stuff is seriously the shit...it's a disinfectant spray used for sports gear. I fly fish a ton so my waders get super stanky by the nature of heavy use. Spray well with this stuff and it totally gets rid of the smell and they smell brand new. When I buy a product that actually works I rep it hard, and this is definitely one of them.

Not saying this is necessarily the right way or even good for your boot but it works.
-take liner out of boot.
-pour dab of laundry detergent into boot.
-fill with water.
-work liner a bit, get any obvious stains out with hand or soft scrub brush.
-rinse
-fill bucket with detergent and water.
-stuff liners into bucket, let sit for a decent amount of time, few hours prolly.
-take liners out.
-rinse.
-air dry.

It's what I do to my intuition liners. no idea if its good for them, but it cleans them.

Mine have to be far worse than yours. Had mine since '09 and I rock them barefoot, with springtime hiking after my resort closes.

Maybe that's why I'm single, haha.

Use foot powder every time you use it. And make sure you dry it up after using.
