Helmet maintenance is very important to guarantee that your closure remains in top condition so that your head will be secured and kept safe. Here are some steps and tips for caring your best motorcycle helmet.
Tips to maintain your helmet
1. Don’t balance your helmet on the mirror of your motorcycle; there's one place it will always end up - on the floor. So put it there. Don’t hang it on a mirror because it can scratch the lining and could render your helmet as good as useless.
2. Clean your helmet least once a year and do it properly. Don’t rush in cleaning just take your time. Most helmets these days have a removable lining design so you can take this out and wash it properly to remove the dirt.
Cleaning your helmet
1. First, start with the inside of your helmet, you’re going to be faced with two options – removable liner and non-removable liner. The removable liner is by far the easier to work with. Now, pull out all of the liner, including the cheek pads.
2. You can now wash the liners using your hands in the kitchen sink using a mild cleaner. You can use detergent. Once you have washed them give them a good rinse of water and hang them out to dry naturally in the air.
3. When it dried, use a clean cloth to wipe gently your helmet to make it shine.
