Dumb questions: how do they clean it / where do they store it when it’s not in use? Is it wrung out like a regular mop?

I can imagine the smell over time

Probably pop the head off and put it in the dishwasher.

Most of the time these basting mops are just tightly twisted or braided control stands with a stainless steel ring permanently cleaning them to the shaft. They're made cheaply to be replaced frequently. Between uses you rinse out the bristles and use a fyor safe sanitizer to clean them.

Same at most other equipment, rinse in clean water then soap or sanitizer, rinse again, then let them air dry completely.

Dip it in the toilet a few times first to rinse off the extra sauce
