Helmet in the laundry

It may be that in most helmets the interior is anti-allergenic, antiperspirant and antibacterial, but this does not mean that we can neglect its cleaning.
So that we don't arrive, Well, to the point of… holding our breath every time we have to put it on our heads, we must take some time at regular intervals to wash the lining of our helmet. Provided, sure, that the inner lining of the helmet is removable (even the cheeks), the process is simple and won't take more than a few minutes.

First we carefully remove the lining from the helmet, after first observing how it is placed and re-fastened, so we can install it after we're done. Our cleaning supplies are few and easy to find. A basin with water and a neutral soap (a baby soap can prove perfect for the occasion) they are enough for us. Under no circumstances should we go into a sanitizing frenzy and use chemicals or alcohol, as this will destroy the investment. The first step is to put the liner in the basin of water and let it soak for a few minutes. Then, rub it gently with the soap (forget harsh scrubbing, boats etc.), with special care. After we clean it up, rinse it and leave it in the water for a few minutes.

The final act of… laundry is to wring it out carefully and then let it dry. Attention! The easy solutions of the hair dryer and the heater should be avoided, as high heat can damage the lining.
