After letting numerous passengers borrow my helmet, through the tears and sweat of long joyful rides, facing the elements of rain and humidity, I end up with one mucky lid.

Thus, I clean my helmet with water and anti-bacterial soap the day before I ride and hope it dries in time. But sometimes I either forget or I need a quick fix for an unexpected ride. So I take some rubbing alcohol and wipe it down with paper towels. I was wondering if there is a better way (i.e. product?) to disinfect the liners and what your methods are.

Clean helmet = happy rider

 

buy a cheep helmet off craigslist and make everyone else wear that. No one but me wears my lid...

 

mine hasn't been right ever since I did this to it......

 

LMAO looks great what are you talking about

 

haha come on give me some love. most of the time i dont care but when it starts to smell i need sumthing

 

if you have removable pads take em out and run them through the washer. probably should let them air dry after that. +1 on no one wears my lid. I have two spare dirtbike helmets for them

 

im the only one that wears my helmet jpan. I had never really thought of washing it either lol. but i guess from time to time that seems like a reasonable idea

 

I hope the passengers are females.......2 guys on 1 bike is a no-go........have a second helmet that you can h0e out, thats what i do.

 

Like someone above said, if you're liner is removable, just throw it in the wash. The dryer won't hurt it. I've raced motocross since I was a kid, and I wash my off-road liner after every ride, I just throw it in with the rest of my gear. My current mx liner (shoei) has been washed and dried maybe 80 times, they hold up. I wash my street liner once a month or so.
