If you don't have removable linings take it in the shower with you, massage the linings with baby shampoo and rinse.

If you can't take ALL the lining out (not all lids are 100% removable) - I have washed my complete helmet with normal clothes washing powder/tablet in the sink. Then rinse it and let it dry in the airing cupboard ... you will need to leave it in there a couple of days, to dry fully so plan that in ...

I remember reading a while ago.................can't remember where.............that putting your crash helmet in the freezer overnight works. It freezes the bacteria that cause the pong, apparently. Anyone else heard of this?

Yes indeed.Freezing works for smelly boots and trainers,so why not helmets?
It kills off the bacteria that cause the nasty niffs.
