Butterbean Posted October 9, 2013 Share Like the others have said, shower with your helmet.I use that thing my missus used to exfoliate with - dont know what it's called but it looks like the bag that oranges come it but all balled up. Squirt some shower gel onto it and work the inside of the helmet like im unscvrewing a lid. Just lay the straps on the inside while im doing this and it sorts them out too.Do it every couple of weeks becuase it starts to get funky ! It'd called a loofah... Not sure of spelling...

'Dale Posted October 9, 2013 Share Just wash it immediately as well after each ride.Otherwise, it can stain or discolour permanently. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BarHugger Posted October 9, 2013 Share Now to rock the boat..... Clean Green undiluted and a high pressure cleaner. I have cleaned the whole set-up like this, from bike, shoes, helmuter, camelsack and even socks. Just make sure the spray nozzle is set to spray and not jet. My wife has those white Shimano MTB shoes (with white SPD stitching), been through some seriaaas mud and still looks new once cleaned. Even the inner soles gets the spray. Works very well on helmut straps also. Gen 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thug Posted October 9, 2013 Share Don't you find your neck is helluva sore afterwards? You'd be surprised, it works all the kinks out of my neck. Far better than the Thai massage down the road. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fabs Posted October 11, 2013 Share Interesting a thread like this comes up. Some time ago, someone was moaning about the straps coming loose and wearing thin,then there was an argument as to which helmet was best etc etc etc. Cut a long story short ... you must read the washing or care instructionsprobably just a rinse with lukewarm water will do the trickdefinitely no soaps, solvents, abrasives The users are their biggest enemies, not quality of components Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
