QUOTE(skyblu3 @ Sep 8 2023, 07:32 PM) You mean the linings/paddings ? Remove and hand wash it with mild clothes detergent . However my helmet no smell because I always wear headscarf.  QUOTE(mADmAN @ Sep 8 2023, 08:29 PM) inner padding i remove and dump it into a laundry bag/net and dump it in the washing machine n drier along with my other laundry at coin laundrys... specifically laundrybar coz thats where i go the most. the rest of the helmet, if im in the mood to do it, i just spray with water in my toilet using the shower head n soap it down with shampoo usually both the exterior and interior....leave to dry indoors for a few days (straps need time to dry). once dry i take a damp cloth to wipe the visors to remove any water stains and wipe dry. seen this helmet around... looks nice... but dunno quality....quick check on youtube i can see emergency release pads.... but i wont consider this specific model.. doesnt looks like it has the inner sunvisor which to me is a must in my helmets. QUOTE(paskal @ Sep 8 2023, 10:31 PM) All the helmet inner and padding I wash in coin laundry. Together with my gloves, balaclava and jacket. I see, thanks guys for the idea. I only bought those foam spray, directly spray on it and wipe it clean then let it dry, but the result is not really satisfactory. I shall remove the inner padding to wash it separately. Need to check if those inner paddings can be removed to wash or not. i think the school/academy helmet (Xdot) may not be removable to wash though. Didn't even use a laundry bag. Never damage anything yet. But I never dried them in a dryer. I always air dry under the sun. The helmet exterior I use soapy water and a towel. The visor I use glass cleaner most of the time, sometime visor cleaner. But I find that glass cleaner cleans better so... Thanks to you I also now wash everything in coin laundry. Makes my life a lot easier. All my stuffs now clean and wangi all the time.  |

QUOTE(lsm1991 @ Sep 11 2023, 10:18 AM) ah u must be a metro student i assume? no its not removable yes, i went together with a cool dude who has the exact same initial as you too  nvm la, just try to clean as much as i can, otherwise gonna discard it if the smell is unbearable. QUOTE(skyblu3 @ Sep 11 2023, 10:31 AM) Though foam spray is a cleaner , but not enough. It's more masking the odour. yup, maybe need multiple wash/spray to clean, once is not enough and yeah, it sort of masking the odour only with some artificial lemon smell etc. so it is still best to use detergent to soak it a bit and clean it, more effective that way. |
