Helmet stink

[Hydher]

You can buy it in Gmarket or some CMO ard here. I got it from Motobici i wonder if he still has it. If you want fast can get it from Motorworld. Lavender Motorworld also have. Pack of 3 from Oxford is $10 if i remember. Keep your head and helmet fresh.

 

Thanks i got it from motorworld over the weekend. Pretty hard to breathe in it but overall very happy (:

 

Thanks mate.

 

3 for $10 with alot of weird designs.

1 for $5

I got the simple ones.

The washing machine method (with the laundry bag) is a great idea. Very convenient and fuss free. I would try it if I have an extra helmet to spare. Currently, I use the manual method. Get a pail, put the detergent and water in it, toss the helmet padding into it and start squeezing, rubbing and cleaning them. It gives the arms a bit of a work out. After that you can immediately sun it and dry it.

 

I am going add some dettol after the wash next time and see if it helps even more.

After being through saf, detergent is enough hehehe. soak it if needed

[jamesboyan007]

try not to squeeze too much. Cos the sponge will wear out even faster with all those squeezing in the water. Spin dry or use a dryer will be a better option. By squeezing the sponge will get softer and end up your helmet from size M will become size L

either change all sponge and padding inside ...or just get a good arai or agv helmet which has good ventilation

[neohkl_2000]

I have a Schubeth C3. Does anybody know if they can change sponge and padding. Great helmet, very comfortable, but not cheap. Condition/appearance almost like the day after I bought it, after three years. Even the inside where the stink looks as good. Just the damn STINK.

Had a friend who got the muc off helmet liner spray from motorworld. He said it works. For me, i always use a bala clava or helmet liners

[devotar]

may wanna try using ionerizer? similar to those that put in the car?

[tionghan]

i use tea leaves to absorb the smell and damp or sometimes the soap paper cover if i want nicer smell..

[fastgixx05]

I think I'm I going to have to get one of the ionizers, even with balaclava it still is stink!

[Tofu_man]

Can't be helped... unless you wrap a plastic bag around your head too. But I found a bala helps more than the simple skull-cap kind of helmet liner. Since sweat sort of drips out the side and back of the head...

i put the glade bag into my helmet box and it smells great

[ezzyoiler]

i have a project ...to solve this stinky issue...waiting for the kit to come in..bokmark this page..if you want to know more.

until the project is complete ...now radio silence..

i just wash the whole helmet. trying to mask the smell is like using perfume without showering.

[Raven Hayabusa]

I wear the helmet and take shower together.

[kelena]

my helmet only allows the removal of the cheek pads, all other paddings cannot be removed, especially the neck roll which trapped so much sweat.

 

I just soaked the entire helmet into a large pail of warm water and some detergent. soaked it overnight, let it dry for a couple of days and it worked.

 

Just that now have to wear a bandana, to prevent the sweat from staining the neck roll.. my next helmet shall have completely removable lining..

Yup!

Must have a big problem washing your hair and face...

[Xyphriel]

Febreze and lots of sun would do the trick. That's how I do it. Smell seems to go away quite fast...

 

and shampoo your hair regularly too. Haha!

[Lighteden]

I usually just take out the padding and wash, under the sun is always great especially after a rainy day.

[afiq661]

like others said, remove the inner liner n wash. and leave it to dry under the hot sun
