My helmet stinks...

[Slad]

Ok, I'm probably not going to get many sensible replies, but I thought I'd ask anyway.

 

My helmet stinks.

 

The black webbing inside the helmet (not a climbing one) sort of smells of mildew from all the sweat. I wash everything but no joy.  I'm guessing it's because it stays in an unheated garage and festers. No mushrooms yet, but give it time..

 

What do you lot do, or do you all smell of roses?

For starters keep it somewhere dry. Leaving it in a damp garage is not ideal is it.

First thing I pull out and throw in the bin 🗑 is the sweat band like you say they don’t half stink smell worse than a ferret 😂

Steam cleaner works wonders on it. Failing that hot water and detergent.

I have never cleaned one.

The leather padding gets lost fairly soon and then it’s just plastic which doesn’t absorb moisture.
