Washing your helmet lining. - SV650.org

I'm curious, I do this less frequently than I should. I did this yesterday. I would suggest putting the lining in a pillow case and putting it in the washing machine if it has no breakable parts as I did mine in the sink. Which works great, but you have to see the colour of the water...

The colour of the water is something to see.

i dont know how to remove my lining so its never been washed, hlmet isn't very old though

Can be washed while still fitted using soap and water and rinsing out, it just takes longer to dry than when it's all out. Soaking up as much water as possible with an old towel helps.

I'm unsure that that actually removes the road dirt and sweat as much as makes it smell nice again...

I did back flush My Aria with the shower to get the pesky bugs out the vents.so once in 4 years(But I dont use it much)
I do wash my head (notice head as not allot of fluff left) after work so the HJC and Shark are OK.

I do the cheek pads quite frequently as they get covered in make up.
