How To Clean A Moldy Riding Helmet

Hope you had a great week! This time I want to talk virtually cleaning your helmet. I personally think that is a part of our tack that is sometimes forgotten, but information technology should be cleaned constantly because has direct contact with our foreheads and can crusade skin bug and is something that peculiarly looks bad when information technology'southward dingy.

I'grand a Charles Owen fan and I have a Charles Owen GR8. If you ain a Charles Owen you might know that they sell a special cleaner for helmets and a deodoriser. The deodoriser I retrieve it's a bit much. But helmets are expensive and make clean them with specially formulated products to take care of them is'south important.

Every bit you tin can see my helmet really needs cleaning in the inside and the exterior.

We are going to need:

– Helmet to clean (duhhh)

– Charles Owen Cleaner

– Antibacterial moisture wipes

The GR8 is covered, as many Charles Owen, with a felt-like fabric that attracts dust like crazy. For this part gently rub with the wipe, this volition remove the grit simply not bear upon the glue that bonds the helmet and the fabric. Don't't forget the straps and the visor. You tin apply the cleaner, simply I don't think is necessary.

For the inside I followed the instructions: spay at a distance of x cm, await 2 min and clean with a wipe. Because the helmet was really dirty I repeated the procedure twice. I concentrated in the forehead area and at the end rubbed it with a wipe to really disinfect.

This is the end result 🙂

It really depends on how much yous utilise the helmet to know the number of times you need to clean information technology. I usually like to clean it in one case a week, twice at the max. This keeps information technology clean without damaging it.

This is the way that I do it. But another actually good i is the old castor and hand soap (preferably antibacterial). The exterior is the aforementioned with the wipe. For the inside you simply accept to be conscientious non to add also much h2o and to dry the excess with a dry towel to keep the helmet from damaging and not to remove the glue.

How practice y'all keep your helmet clean?
