My helmet smells all cheesy

Get your minds out of the gutter you filthy pervs.

Having worn my lid for a minimum of 2 hours a day every day for the last year or so, I've found that the interior is getting a bit pongy. What can I do?

(Other than wash more often, obviously. I want something achievable...)

Take the padding our and give a damn good hand wash. I know you can defo do it on my shoei and Arai

You can do mine as well seems as your doing Graeme's.

If you can take the padding out. Then get some mild baby shampoo and rub that into it and then rinse it off and then leave it somewhere to dry it out.

I've washed a couple of lids like that gets them nice and clean and as the baby shampoo is mild theres no danger IMHO of ruining anything. One of them didnt have removable padding, so I just used the shower to damp it down and then rinse it out again once I was finished...

Limit yourself to wearing the helmet when you're on the bike?
I know it might feel great round the house and in the pub but ...

If you cant get the padding out without destroying it, you can clean it using a damp cloth. if that fails Mrs Mogs recommends you store it with the visor closed and put a few sheets of bounce in it.

i use ferbreeze

i don't use shampoo on my hair - it cleans itself. This helps keep it fresher inside my lid.

Had it for 1.5 years & it's never needed cleaning.

Open all the vents, go for a long ride in the country on a fresh day.

Lovely
