Cleaning inside of helmets

[Panther]

So how long does it take to get the lining dry in your helmet?
cos i took it all out once, cos it NEEDS to be cleaned, and then i realised all the time i was gonna be spending waiting for it to dry was gonna be time i wasn't gonna be able to go out riding, so i tried to put it in again and that took ages too...

Haha depends aye Sallo like I dried mine inside didn't want the Sun to damage it, if. So it took two days but mez got a spare helmet.

Otherwise a day would be fine I rekon.

The best way I've found to clean a helmet is to briskly and firmly apply it to a suitable track surface , done regularly you never need to worry about the inside coz it dosen't get old enough to get dirty , ( 80mph on your head seams to be about the right speed to get through to the polly on the inside on a Shoei OOPS ).

But you should be able to buff that up real nice hey!!

I ride everyday and like to have two helmets so as not to wear the same one day in day out. That'd be like wearing the same shoes everyday I guess...

Last weekend I washed the #1 helmet, removed what lining I could and hand washed it, then washed the inside with a sponge. Dried it in the sunporch (shame about the lack of sun..).

Also washed my touring jacket while I was at it. Just have to treat the jacket with silicone spray and put the lining back in the helmet. When I've waxed the leather jacket I won't know myself but that'll all be over for another year.

I just got a helmet from Buy Sell Swap for $20. It's a lucky helmet. The person that was wearing it when they crashed was lucky they were wearing it. The padding was all rotting out on the inside so I took the hoover to it.

I wear it when I bitch someone and give them my new helmet.

I clean my open face often as it's done a few km's and gets grotty as I sweat heaps, Motorex (sp) make a helmet foam which is excellent,lifts all the crud and leaves it smealling fresh and new ! for those really hot days I wear a little hat (similar to what the MX boys wear me thinks,looks like a skull cap or one of those hats that the muslums wear) rinse in cold water first then wring it out and cools the old head, no sweating what so ever f'n brillant. easier to wash than the inside of the lid.

It would be fear to say that havent cleaned the iside of my helmet. Althought i have ony just purchase one with removable inners. So i guess thats the next project.
