A Shoui helmet I owned years ago came with a recommendation to wash out the inside with what ever shampoo you normally use. Shampoo isn't too harsh. It definately helps to remove/reduce the funk.
Be careful with the cedar chips unless you know you're not allergic. I know it sounds odd, but I have reactions to cedar chips. Learned that lesson LONG ago when I was in elementary school and my parents got me a guinea pig. I ended up with a rash (washing fixed it right away). More testing confirmed it was the cedar and not the animal. Ended up using pine, which wasn't as good but worked OK.
I would hate to see someone cedar up their helmet and then not be able to use it ever again.
That actually sounds like a heckuva good idea!Go to a Pet store and buy a bag of cedar chips stuff a healthy bunch of them in an old pillowcase, stuff the filled pillowcase into your helmet. Preferably an absorbent flannel or silk one but any will do!
Cotton absorbs the moisture, cedar chips soak up the moisture, the dry air kills the bacteria. No more petro chemicals and ya gotta believe me, your helmet smells great. You can ride 500 miles on a hot day and yu'll still smell fresh and cedary.
ANd no, this isn't a practical joke. Get rid of the petrochemicals and get your helmet really clean.
That is a fact. The first time I washed my liner I was amazed at how disgustingly brown the water was. Yuk...Try washing as my previous post suggests and look at the water before draining, you will be surprised how dirty it is.
