How should I clean my motorcycle helmet?

There are plenty of us who love to ride our motorcycles and ATVs but after a while, our motorcycle helmets are bound to get a little smelly from sweat and dirt. You may look at your helmet and say, "How in the world do I clean this thing so I can enjoy riding again?" It's simple. Just clean these three important parts of your motorcycle helmet:


1. Comfort Liner: If the comfort liner is removable, it should be cleaned only by hand in cool water with a neutral cleaning agent or in the washing machine by placing the liner in a washing net. If the comfort liner is not removable, simply wipe with a damp cloth using a neutral cleaning agent. When this is complete, allow the comfort liner to air dry.


2. EPS Liner: Since the EPS liner is neither solvent or heat proof, it should only be cleaned by using a damp cloth.


3. Plastic Parts: All plastic parts of the motorcycle helmet should never be cleaned with anything containing solvents or anything with acid or alkaline based corrosive cleaning agents since these will deteriorate and weaken the plastic over time. Simply clean the plastic parts with a cool, damp cloth.


Finally, if you wish to make the outside of the helmet shine like new, simply use automotive wax.
