Based on my first post,now i will post a tutorials how to wash helmet by own. This article is post by : sportbikeguy.com
What you needed:
1. Laundry Sink or Bathtub
2. Gentle Laundry Soap (i.e. Woolite)
3. Towels (2)
Estimates:
Time: 15-30 minutes to wash, 24-72 hours to dry.
Cost:
~$5 USD for detergent.
Even if your helmet has removable pads, you should wash the helmet out as well. You can wash the pads at the same time and leave them out to dry with it.
Step 1 - Remove the visor
Step 2 - Place towel in tub
You do not want to scratch your nice helmet, do you? Make sure you put the drain plug in first.
Step 3 - Measure out some of your favorite delicate laundry detergent
Step 4 - Fill the tub
Step 5 - Wash the helmet
Squish the soapy water through the pads and the rest of the helmet.
Open your vents and let some soap drain through them as well.
Step 6 - Drain
Step 7 - Rinse
Rinse the soap from the outside, vents, and inside.
To get the soap out of the pads, squish the clean water in them repeatedly. Be thorough
Step 8 - Drain
Hold it like this for a bit to let much of the water drain out.
The best for way for a helmet to dry is on a dish rack like this one. It allows air to circulate to let it dry faster.
DO NOT use a heat source (hair dryer, etc.) to expedite the drying process! The heat will cause glue breakdown and other problems. Just DON NOT do it! (This are excatly true, because I have tried to dry out using a hairdyer but instead make helmet use is not fragrant)
So, now you can wash your helmet by yourself. No need to go to helmet washer.
