How to Clean Premium Helmets the Right Way

Why Cleaning Premium Helmets Matters

Your helmet isn’t just gear – it’s an investment in safety and style. Regular cleaning prevents odor, removes bacteria, and protects the outer shell from damage. Neglecting this simple habit can shorten your helmet’s lifespan.

Step-by-Step Guide to Cleaning Premium Helmets

1. Gather the Right Supplies

• Mild baby shampoo or helmet cleaner
• Microfiber cloth
• Soft-bristle brush
• Warm water
• Cotton swabs

👉 Avoid harsh chemicals or alcohol-based cleaners, as they can weaken helmet materials.

2. Remove and Wash the Inner Padding

Most premium helmets have removable liners.

• Take out the cheek pads and inner lining.
• Soak them in lukewarm water with mild shampoo.
• Gently hand-wash, rinse, and let them air-dry completely (never use a dryer).

3. Clean the Outer Shell

• Dip a microfiber cloth in soapy water.
• Wipe gently in circular motions.
• Use a soft brush to remove bug splatters or dirt.

⚠️ Pro Tip: Never scrub with abrasive sponges – they scratch the helmet’s finish.

4. Clean the Visor

• Detach the visor and rinse with lukewarm water.
• Use a microfiber cloth to wipe it clean.
• Apply an anti-fog spray for better visibility.

5. Detail the Vents and Seals

• Use cotton swabs for small areas like air vents.
• Make sure no moisture remains trapped.

6. Dry and Reassemble

Let everything air-dry naturally. Avoid direct sunlight or heat sources. Once dry, reassemble your helmet.

Helmet Maintenance Tips

• Store your helmet in a dust bag.
• Never hang it on your bike’s mirror (it weakens the lining).
• Clean it at least once a month for best results.
