How do you keep your helmet fresh?

[BwanaDik]

I use these for longer term storage in the garage. Keeps the inside of the helmet real neutral

Helmet Dog

And yes, a dryer sheet or Fabreeze while touring

Wash it in the dishwasher with the Air Dry cycle.

Plays hell with the headset though.

I wear a SLIKS helmet liner - keeps my sweaty, greasy hair off the helmet liner material.

Got circumcised many years ago. :lol:

Somehow my helmets stay fresh for four years ... the fifth year starts to smell musty ... and then I replace it. But I was thinking ... I have some shoe deoderizer thingy's I drop into my boots at night, I wonder if something similar would be an option would work for you?

Helmet Liner is a MUST but, a spray bottle of Febreze is the ****! :clapping:

You're Welcome!

I do take the interior out of my Nolan and wash it, smells nice and fresh when it's done. But what do you do to keep it smelling nice and fresh between washings? Do you wipe down the inner linings with anything? A shot of Fabreze perhaps or an air freshener in the closet you store your gear in?

I wish somebody would make an interior helmet cleaner/deodorizer for in between rides.

Taking it apart and cleaning it does take it's toll on the lining.

It's just about time to get a new interior for the Nolan again.

Anybody know of any products out there that really work?

I wear a do-rag anytime I put my Shoei Qwest on. The do-rag takes the sweat and oils instead of the helmet interior and is easily washable.

My helmet hasn't needed any cleaning at all.

Yep, my underarmour does good and the one I got from dealership is good too. It's best to rotate a couple head liners : but never go without them.

Uh, could it be as simple as taking a shower first thing in the morning? <_<

A daily shower goes a long way. On top of that, between rides I make sure the face shield is flipped up so some air can circulate. Never a problem.
