Cleaning Gloves and Helmet?

[Student]

Was just wondering how to go about cleaning my gloves and helmet, there's no guides as to how to do it on them :s

I'm assuming you can't put leather gloves in the washing machine, and they're too thick to turn inside out

And helmet, well I'm not even considering putting that in a washing machine, but is there an easy way to clean the padding?

Thanks for any help

Put your helmet in the bath, with some johnsons no tears shampoo.
and scrub it in and rinse then put in airing cupboard for a day or two till dry

Spray with a ton of febreeze and let it air out.
You can't take out your pads?

Yeah, after fiddling with it a little bit I've noticed the pads come out
*Smacks head*
Just take them out and spray febreeze on them and leave em over night to air?

Shift it sanitizer
Works good - always using the works 'free' bottle once a week - only because its free mind.
As for gloves, I place on the radiator and still smells damp

anyone know of any household cleaners that can be used on the visors, cant see why they need a specialist product!

Whats worse is the fact that you'd quite happily stick your head in it!

Ignorance is bliss and all that.

Stop being a tart and using hair gel / wax.

I can see the advantages of sticking ya lid in the bath, a PROPER clean.

But my second thought was, would it not effect the protective foam on the inside when it soaks through, and possibly rendering it useless?

No it would not,
as its like polystyrene, which if youve every tipped water onto, dosnt seem to do much with it

I knew it was polystyrene (saw a cut in half lid on my first CBT) but I've never put any of it near water

The joys of having removable liners.

I used head and shoulders on mine. It still smells lovely.

Use a leather cleaner, then a leather moisturister on your gloves (If they are leather). Hand wash them with some stuff reccommended for outdoor garments if they are textile.
