Wash liner on the lowest setting in my washing machine and let it air dry. As for the he outside, just soap and water.

I also keep half a dryer sheet in my helmet when not in use. Helps keep it smelling fresh even when it's not

The Molecule "Refresh" works great for getting rid of stink, we sell it online and have it at the races. Molecule also sells a wash product for suits that will also work on removable helmet liners.

The thing to NOT do is zip it into a gear bag as soon as you take it off, it needs to air dry first. Using an air hose to get most of the dirt out is a quick and easy way to keep the dirt from getting ground in tot he liner. I use an air hose on my car and moto helmets before they get put away between use.

So full hose out of the inside or no?

Have someone hold the pressure washer and I run it through the stream to get big mud off. Windex and a microfiber do the rest. I keep it on a helmet dryer during race weekends.

Do you have speakers and a mic?

yeah - speakers and mic

Air hose, not a water hose. I cant see ever needing a pressure washer to clean a helmet, especially the inside.
If you race in mud,keep it waxed or hit it with pledge on race day and the mud will come off easier.

UPR sells a really nice helmet dryer that we use every time we go testing. Highly recommend. And throwing in a dryer sheet when it's in the bag is a must.

Ok - mines filthy. I need like a hand dry cleaner. Pumper went down and had to drive in dust with shield open.

What helps keep the helmet and liner sanitary is baking it in the sun after washing. Nukes the nasty bacteria.

That ship has sailed. Here is what I am working with. Rag and soap for inside?
