Cleaning a helmet doesnt always require special cleaning products. Some simple ingredients that are easy to find at home are effective enough to remove dirt and remove odors.

One of the ingredients used is shampoo which functions to remove oil and provide a fresh scent to the inside of the helmet. Shampoo is chosen because it contains gentle cleaning agents and can remove stains without damaging the inner layer of the helmet.

Additional ingredients used are baking soda, which has antibacterial properties and is able to absorb bad odors. Baking soda is also known as a natural cleaning agent that is effective in removing dirt without damaging the surface.

As an aid, a clean cloth is used to wipe the entire surface of the helmet. If there are stubborn stains that are difficult to remove, an old toothbrush can be used to brush more detailed parts.

Mix shampoo, baking soda, and hot water in a small bowl and stir until well blended. This mixture will work as a natural cleaner that will not only remove stains but also remove musty odors from the inside of the helmet.

A clean cloth is then dipped into the solution and rubbed evenly into the inside of the helmet. If there are still stubborn stains, an old toothbrush can be used to help remove dirt more effectively.

After all parts are cleaned, the helmet is wiped again using a clean cloth that has been dampened with warm water. The last step, the helmet is dried in a place with good air circulation so that it is completely dry and free from unpleasant odors.
