First of all, do it calmly and carefully; avoid rushing and trying to clean it while driving and without taking the necessary precautions.

For safety reasons, we do not recommend such operation. You also risk reducing the visibility and scratching the visor, for example when trying to clean it while wearing gloves, without realising that their seams have some parts that may irreparably ruin the surface.

Therefore, if you are driving and cannot keep going because of reduced visibility, stop as soon as possible and take the helmet off. Some of you might have thought ahead and included a pack of wet wipes suitable for cleaning helmets in your perfect motorcyclist kit. Otherwise, if you are near a café or a petrol station for a coffee break or to fill up, you may want to you use the lavatory to clean your visor.

Dampen the visor with water and pour a small amount of mild liquid soap onto a damp cloth or other non-abrasive fabric, then gently remove anything that should not be there! Next is the drying stage. It would be better not to use anything that may scratch the surface of the visor, especially if it’s coloured, as it is more delicate that a transparent surface in that case. Ideally you’d use a soft and clean microfibre cloth.

Once you’re back home, for optimal cleaning, you might consider disassembling the visor following the appropriate instructions. Proceed as above, but this time focus on cleaning those parts that normally cannot be reached, as they are very close to the fastening mechanism.

Visor: how to clean it?

The outer shell of our helmet deserves cleaning as well, not only to show it off to friends before riding off, but also to check its integrity. So, before getting on your motorcycle, remove the visor and give the outer surface a nice clean! Follow the same precautions taken for the visor, specifically a damp and clean microfibre cloth, lukewarm water and some mild liquid soap.

Should the outer shell be rather dirty, it would be better not to rub too fiercely… it is actually advisable to add an extra step, so as to let the dirt soften in order to be able to remove it easily. General cleaning products you may have at home that are not specifically designed for helmets must be avoided at all costs. They may contain solvents or other aggressive ingredients that interact with the external paint and/or the graphics.

Cleaning the Helmet’s Outer Surface

After dealing with the outer part, let’s focus on the inside of the helmet! The lining that comes into contact with your head is actually completely removable and washable, even in the washing machine. In this case, do not exceed 30° to avoid ruining the plastic parts sewed to the fabric. How to proceed

First of all, carefully remove the liner and the cheek pads from the inner shell. If in doubt, check the instruction manual or the airoh.com website. At this point you have two options: hand washing or machine washing! In the former case you can dampen a microfibre cloth with a solution of water and baking soda (universal remedy!), and use it to wipe the dismantled parts several times to clean them thoroughly.

For an even more effective cleaning, you may wish to also wipe the internal parts of the helmet in the areas that were previously covered by the inner-lining. It is important for the parts made of polystyrene not to come into direct contact with water since the material is waterproof but also breathable, and thus permeable to water vapour. Instead, if you opt for machine washing, remember to avoid aggressive products and only use mild detergents and do not exceed 30°. After carefully washing the inner-lining, drying it is just as important. Here’s how:

Let’s start by saying what to avoid! Avoid any direct heat sources. So no radiators, stoves, hairdriers, etc. Place the inner-lining in a ventilated and dry place and wait for it to be completely damp-free.

This step is crucial, even if it’s often underestimated. Even when you wash everything perfectly, you risk creating the ideal environment for mould and unpleasant smells to develop, if you do not dry the various parts correctly.
