One hospital is putting used masks into one clear plastic bag each, and putting them on a clothes line with uv-c light bulbs shining on one side. after a few hours they move the light to the other side. Initial results look promising. so look around online for uv.c bulb and fixture, and you could sanitize a mask. Gloves can be washed with soap and water before removal.
