How to Disinfect your Helmet
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

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.
