Rancid helmets

I see the "stinky PPE" thread has been removed (I assume due to mention of names or something). So, on a slightly different tack, what do you lot do to keep your head gear fresh in order to avoid faces like in the picture below? (just wanted an excuse to repost this lovely pic of my lovely number 1 daughter :evil:).

 

I just rinse mine out of an evening with water and anti-bacterial handwash or washing-up liquid. It takes all of 1 minute and dries over night in the garage. It's always nice and fresh. But I know people who can't even be bothered to do that and forever wear rancid helmets and ear defenders - no excuse!

ive always used the anti bacterial wipes and wipe it clean and usually take the peices of the ear defenders apart after the week as condensation damp and all sorts gets loast behind the foam so it makes them last a little bit longer

I used to use wipes too, until one day I sprayed the shower in it and the water was running out black.... AFTER using wipes! Definitely worth taking ear defenders apart every few days and cleaning them properly - as you say, they get full of all sorts. Work mate got really bad ear infection from bacteria filled ear defenders. The damp warm conditions are perfect!
