How to Maintain your Motorcycle Helmet

Helmet maintenance is very important hygiene for a motorcycle rider to guarantee that your helmet cover remains in top condition so that your head will be secured and kept safe. Here are some tips and steps in taking good care for your best motorcycle helmet.


Tips to maintain your helmet: 
  1. Don’t balance your motorcycle helmet on the mirror of your bike; there's one place it will always end up on the floor. So put it there. Don’t hang your helmet on your bike's mirror because it can damage the lining and could render your helmet as good as useless. 
  2. Clean your helmet least once a year and do clean it properly. Don’t rush in cleaning and just take your time. Most helmets these days have a removable lining feature so you can take this out and wash it properly. 
   
Cleaning your helmet:
  1. First, start cleaning 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 because you can pull out all of the liner including the cheek pads.
  2. You can now wash the liners using your hands using a mild cleaner. You can use detergent or soap. Once you have washed them give them a good rinse of water and hang them out to dry in the air.
  3. When your helmet is dry, use a clean cloth to wipe gently your helmet to make it shine.
