Any ideas for a quick fix to a sweaty/smelly helmet? I'm lending someone one of my old ones when I take them on the back, but although it's perfectly safe it whiffs a bit. Short of actually washing it, anyone got any ideas on how to sort this? Have considered spraying it with deodrant and blowing it through with a hairdryer.

Didn't someone on here wash theirs in the bath with shampoo or summut? Laughing

The water looked well dirty! Seem to do the job.
Just gotta give it a few days to dry.

Edit: Yeah just like that! ^^^ Laughing
I might give that ago.

Has it got a removable liner? If so, just wash the thing. It only takes a second. Then chuck the bits on a radiator to dry for a day.
