Posted: 11:32 - 18 Apr 2010 Post subject: Washing a bike helmet liner? |
|
|
I've discovered that wearing my shark helmet which fits rather nicely on my head that the insides are just TOO scummy (they were covered in mold when I got my bike back off the container ship)
But then it had been stuck on my head through mud sweat and tears of my Russian Adventure and therefore absorbed rather a lot of my head sweat and grime.
In that when I wear it my skin comes out in a rash and goes lumpy for a few days.
It can't be as simple as bung it in the washing machine and no matter how much I soap up the cheek panels (the liner on the top is ok as it is identical to my other Shark helmet I ruined.
In that I soap them up with washing powder and grime just keeps coming out, you're not supposed to squeeze them or anything so how do you wash yours?

Bathtub full of hot water and lots of soap, keep washing until is clean. There is a pic on here somewhere of someone washing a simpson helmet and the water is proper brown |

Are you talking about the liner, as in the polystyrene liner; or are you talking about the cushioned liner?
If its only the cushioned liners then don't worry about squeezing them they will be fine, its only soft upholstery foam at the end of the day.
What I do with mine is cover them in normal unscented hand soap then dunk them in water for a second or two and then let them absorb all the soap and water, then squeeze and rinse out until its all clean clear water coming out.
If they are backed by the polystyrene (like mine are) just be careful not to squeeze or compress these too hard, but they should be pretty resilient.
Then with the polystyrene shell i just get a clean sponge wring it out so its moist but not wet, add a load of normal hand soap onto it and lather up the inside, not pressing hard and not getting it wet just moist and soapy.
Then a couple wipes over with a damp (not wet) clean sponge to remove the lather until all the suds are gone and a quick wipe over with kitchen towel and its nice and clean.
If you can do it without getting the sponge too wet it only takes 10 min to dry
In the mean time, if the cheek pads have covers on them you can just throw them into the washing machine on a delicate setting.
Thats how I do mine, Hope its of some help |
