I get to use my helmet without gagging.

 

(I could probably have phrased that better 😁)

As a PS:

I'm getting a climbing helmet so didn't mind stripping the stinking Oregon helmet down.  Using a knife, you can prise out the straps by lifting the inserts over the retaining bumps.  Then you can hand wash them in hot water with the bicarb, washing powder, bleach, agent orange etc.  I don't think you can do this too many times or the plastic will wear and the helmet will be less good if something hits you and the straps pop out too easy.  But you can do it without having to wash the whole thing and get the ear defenders wet etc.

I tend to throw helmets down in the footwell of the truck where they're going to get warmed regularly enough to stay fresh. Car boot (in an estate) would be ok too. Anywhere that gets warm enough to dry it on a regular basis.

Also consider some helmet santiser to stop the bacteria growing - something like -

Sunlight works well as UV kills stuff but not ideal as degrades plastics...?
