I'm just back from a very wet tour, wiped my musty Ortliebs with a solution of warm water and bicarbonate of soda, let them air dry upside down, on broom poles, they smell nice and fresh now.The answer is Miltons. If your panniers begin to get a bit whiffy, then a quick wipe round with Miltons will sort it.
Can also be used to make visibly clear water safe for drinking.
Yes, OP, they really are waterproof.
Separate contents in bags though, for easy access, as the Ortliebs are cavernous.
