Brilio.net - A blurry or foggy helmet visor can be a serious problem for motorbike riders. Opaque helmet visors can impair visibility and increase the risk of accidents.
This condition of blurred helmet visors is generally caused by temperature differences inside and outside the helmet, as well as high humidity. When warm air from outside enters a cold helmet, water vapor can condense on the surface of the visor, making it opaque.
Apart from moisture, various kinds of stains can also make the helmet visor become blurry. Especially if the helmet visor is designed with clear, white glass. Of course, the blurry stains will become more visible and must be cleaned immediately so that they can be used comfortably.
Unfortunately, clear and white helmet visors usually cannot be cleaned easily. Not without reason, this helmet visor is easily fried if wiped carelessly with a cloth. Therefore, you need special tricks to clean the opaque helmet glass so that it shines again.
Luckily, there is a YouTube user who shared a trick for easily cleaning a blurred helmet visor. Through the Ciwel Dragons YouTube account, he admitted that he used simple ingredients at home. Well, one of the cleaning ingredients even comes from the kitchen, you know.
Reported by BrilioFood from YouTube Ciwel Dragons on Friday (26/4), the kitchen ingredient in question is dishwashing soap. Apart from that, he also uses liquid detergent and water. Well, a number of these ingredients simply need to be mixed together in a container and transferred into a spray bottle.

If the helmet visor is still dry, you can spray the liquid directly onto the visor. Only then rub it using your hands to make it more even. Continue rubbing for a few minutes to spread evenly.

If you feel there are still stubborn stains, you can spray the liquid again. Then rub it using your hands. Only then rinse the helmet visor by spraying clean water over the entire surface of the visor until the soap wears off and the visor becomes foggy.

Next, leave the helmet visor in the open position. Without wiping it first, you can dry the helmet until the glass dries by itself. Then, if there are still traces of water, you can wipe it using a tissue dampened with water. Keep wiping until the glass is really clean and clear again. Finally, wipe with a dry tissue.
"Because we know that clear glass is very sensitive, guys. For black glass, you don't notice any scratches, but for clear glass like this you have to wipe it clean," explained YouTube Ciwel Dragons.
