Any odour is probably caused by the bacteria in the helmet lining/ cushions.

Wash the helmet linings more often and dun expose the inners of the helmet to direct sunlight while drying.

 

Placing a scent bag in the helmet when not in use probably does not solve the issue.

Spraying of perfume is of cos not recommended as we are not sure whether will it degrade the protective foam in the helmet.

anyone tried "Febreeze"?

[AndrewAlwaysEmo]

It's safer to wash... U won't wan chemicals on and scalp and grow bald

[nateray]

agree. wash n air out

if still cannot, maybe just change a helm.

If you have those lamp Berger thingy.

 

Light a lamp. Put over the lamp, a tall stool with holes at the seats. The Ikea Stools is perfect. Rest your washed and dried helmet and its paddings on the stool.

 

Let the perfume drift up and into your helmet. Cover the helmet, stool and lamp berger with a thick blanket if you have to. Scent up your blanket and helmet all together.

use a helmet care product bro..i use a motorex helmet care produt...it is good, produces a white foam, keeps your helmet less smelly and keeps the padding clean and fresh..guess u can find similiar products in many shops..not very exp.

I heard my friends say there is a Sharp Ioniser for Helmet. Think the shop that sells Nolan and Shoei carries this Ioniser

[thrasher]

My best guess is you're not using a helmet liner? Get 1 if not get the sharp ioniser. I swear by the liner cos i sweat alot

NTUC fair price got charcoal based deodorizer with scents.. work well for my helmets.

Just bought a lavender scent satchet from Daiso and put in my top box.. $2 bucks..

[hungryhungry]

I put in those glade freshener in between the foam and helmet lining, they are available at NTUC for quite cheap too. not sure about the hairfall part though

I wipe my helmet daily with Johnson baby wipes. Cheap and good.

my helmet only has removable cheekpads. the others are not.

in that case, is there any shop that can clean the helmet with the padding still inside?

 

i tried febreeze, seemed to make things worse.. the initial smell will be replaced by the febreeze, but once sweat or facial oil comes into contact, the smell actually becomes worse.

 

i'm short of dipping my entire helmet into a mild soap solution overnight!

Kelena,

 

Get a spare helmet.

 

Dip this current smelly helmet into soap solution and jiggle the water and soap in the helmet. You need to loosen out the dead skin pieces, dandruffs and dust collected in the helmet. An anti-septic solution rinse will also be good.

 

Rinse, dry a few days, sun it as much as possible, spray the underside of the helmet with 3M waterproofing spray to ward off rain water.

 

Keep in a box wth charcoal water vapour absorbing gels bits to suck out as much air, water and bacteria.

 

Wear a 'good morning, you are good' white face towel on your head every time you wear the helmet and change out the towel every day. Shave bald if neessary.

that's quite a few things to do! what I do is put febreeze and let it dry with charcoal, while i'm using my spare helmet. as the spare is not really comfortable, max i let the other one dry for 24 hours and i'm on it again.

 

so I gather the only thing i've not tried is to put it in a soap solution then. i'll try it over this weekend.

febreeze and dettol disinfectant spray.

hi guys.. i just bought a Muc-off foam for cleaning helmet lining.. its FANTASTIC.. i have been using this helmet for about a year.. nv clean before.. only air it.. so u can imagine that SMELL.. its smell free now.. foam cost about $13 or 18.. cant recall.. can be foudn at Motoworld.. hope this helps!

[Milouz]

put the helmet directly inside washing machine

[2299]

Wash! Just like clothes....washing is the best solution.

 

Also, buy a cheap $5 skull cap from Ah Boy, absorb sweat and odour, can wash anytime you like.

[JustRace23th]

i will not put any perfume man.... it will cause me to have pimples...

[liquidribs]

I take out the padding to wash and also wash the whole helmet as well then dry in the sun. Wash with sun silk shampoo hahaha.. After that smells very good.. But I think may affect the structural integrity of the helmet if in the sun for too long?
