Helmet care/cleaning?

[HaggisHunter]

Just wording if any one has any tips for cleaning the inside of my helmet, after a few hot days it got quite sweaty and was wondering the best way to clean it. Some of the inside padding buttons/velcros out but i wasn't sure if i could just put it in the washing machine or hand wash

If it helps it's a Box BZ-1 Saltire helmet, I've checked the booklet that came with the helmet but only gives advice on cleaning the visor and shell

Thanks in advance

I put mine in the washing machine on a delicate cycle.
No problems

last time i removed all bits i could then handwashed them, also took a sponge and handwashed the bits that wouldn't come out, put it all in the airing cupboard after to dry out.

I use a sanitising foam now and then. Spread it over the lining and then leave to air dry.

I'm circumcised so don't really have issues with dirt building up around my helmet.

And on my upper helmet, I chuck the liner in the washing machine every few months and wipe the visor clean with just water. Too busy riding the bike to get time to clean the thing properly.

Horse riders sweat a lot more than us... I have 28 Helmets and I use this on all of them, it's really good stuff.

As for helmet (motorcycle) cleaning, most of the pads come out so I give them a wash in the sink using washing machine powder, wash the helmet and visor with fairy liquid.


Don't do it often, only when the insides change colour.
