Brilio.net - Helmets that are used continuously can become dirty and dull . Even the helmet visor has the potential to become cloudy. This problem can be caused by various factors, such as small scratches, dirt, and continuous exposure to sunlight. A cloudy helmet visor makes the driver's view unclear, especially when riding at night or in bad weather conditions.
In addition to physical factors, the accumulation of steam or dew inside the helmet visor can also cause the glass to become cloudy. This dew often occurs due to differences in temperature inside and outside the helmet, especially during cold or rainy weather. This condition not only interferes with comfort, but also reduces driving safety because the rider must frequently wipe the helmet visor.
To overcome this problem, you need to do regular maintenance on the helmet glass. Using a special soft cloth and the right cleaning fluid can help reduce scratches and keep the glass clean. In addition, using anti-fog or anti-fog products can also be an effective solution to maintain clear visibility while driving.
However, if it is already cloudy, you need to wash it with a special helmet glass cleaner. If there is none, you can use another alternative in cleaning the cloudy helmet glass. This material was once used by the owner of the Instagram account @safaralles. Through one of the videos uploaded, he admitted to using one kitchen ingredient.
As reported by BrilioFood from Instagram @safaralles on Thursday (10/24), the kitchen ingredient in question is vinegar. Well, this vinegar can make the glass clear again. But for maximum results, he also added toothpaste as a helmet cleaning agent.

Furthermore, the way to use these two ingredients is quite easy. First, mix the toothpaste and vinegar into a small bowl. Then stir the two ingredients until they are completely mixed evenly.

Once done, apply the mixture to the cloudy helmet glass. Apply using a soft dishwashing sponge. After that, rub it gently until the dirt is gone.
In addition to the glass, other parts of the helmet can also be cleaned with this material. Simply apply it evenly to the entire helmet. Then rub it for a while. Then wipe using a chamois to remove any remaining cleaner and dirt that is still stuck.

Immediately after wiping, the helmet glass that was originally cloudy and full of stains, became shinier. It even looked clearer than before. Meanwhile, other parts of the helmet that were also cleaned looked shinier.
Vinegar and toothpaste are two household items that can be used to clean a foggy helmet visor due to their effective cleaning properties. The acidic nature of vinegar can help break down and dissolve oils, grease, and residue from road pollution that often make helmet visors foggy. In addition, vinegar also has antibacterial properties that can help eliminate bacteria and fungi that may grow on the surface of the visor.
Meanwhile, toothpaste contains mild abrasives that can help remove small scratches and blurry spots on the surface of the helmet glass. These abrasives work like gentle micro-scrubbers, so they can clean without damaging the glass. In addition, toothpaste usually contains bleaching agents and other cleaning agents that can help remove dirt and stains.
