cleaning helmet straps

I wash my Giro Aeon straps after every ride. Just use body shampoo or soap suds. Else the smell gonna be too, err... smelly.

I put my helmet in the kitchen sink with some washing up liquid and let it soak for a while. The helmet floats of course. Give the straps a scrub and then hang the helmet on the line to dry off. Mainly because the straps absolutely get stinking of stale sweat and put me off my ride, especially on hills where you can really smell them! Oh and put the pads in too to wash them out. I do this every 2 to 3 weeks depending on how much riding I am doing.

I picked up a great tip a while ago to get rid of both the smell (well mostly the smell) and the grime accummulating in my helmet (cue the schoolboy jokes) Milton sterilising tablets work brilliantly; drop a couple into a bucket of water, dunk the helmet in and soak overnight and they look and smell as good as new.

I actually unthread mine sometimes and puut them in the washing machine.

I find that baby wipes will pretty much clean anything you apply them to with a bit of elbow grease.

Take it into the shower and use shampoo.

Washing-up liquid or handwash and hand warm water. Should do it.

I guess, wash it the same way up you wear it to avoid getting gunk in the dome.
