Is there a smell coming from the helmet? Then clean it by adopting these measures
Lifestyle
For two-wheeler riders, wearing a helmet is as important as it is important for it to be clean and hygienic.
If the helmet becomes dirty or smelly, it is not only uncomfortable but can also be harmful for health. Today we will tell you some easy and effective tricks, with the help of which you can keep your helmet clean and get rid of the smell.
The inner padding (foam lining) of most helmets can be removed and washed. Wash in lukewarm water with mild detergent or baby shampoo. Let it dry thoroughly - keeping it in direct sunlight removes both odor and bacteria.
Let the helmet air outLemon or vinegar spray
Mix water and a little vinegar or lemon juice in a spray bottle and spray inside. This kills bacteria and also removes the smell. Leave the helmet open after use so that it dries.
Avoid perfume or deo
Spraying deo or perfume inside the helmet covers the smell for some time, but does not solve the root of the problem. It can also cause allergies in the scalp.
Suggestion -
Clean the helmet at least once a week. Also pay attention to the cleanliness of the scalp, so that the helmet does not get dirty quickly due to sweat and oil.
Keep the helmet open or upside down after every use so that the moisture inside can come out. Keeping it in a closed place causes moisture and sweat to rot, which causes bad smell.
Use baking soda
Baking soda is a natural deodorizer. Sprinkle a small amount of baking soda inside the helmet and leave it overnight. Clean it by shaking in the morning.
Charcoal or silica gel packs
These absorb moisture and keep the helmet dry and fresh. You can keep one or two packets inside the helmet when you are not using it.
