A ‘Top Shelf’ Helmet-Washing Method

RBR Premium Member Filippo Moneti sent us what may be the first pictorial Quick Tip, with no text needed, really. However, to amplify, he did add this:

“This is how I wash my helmet. It gets the salt and funk off the straps. I use hi temp wash but AIR DRY.”

Yes, Fil pops his helmet on the top rack of his dishwasher. I’ve heard from other roadies who wear their helmet into the shower!

My personal method of cleaning the white-stained straps is to spray them off in the sink using the dish sprayer, then let the helmet dry in the dish drainer. To each, his or her own!


If you have an idea for a QT, fire away. We’re always looking for good info we can share with fellow roadies. We would love to hear from you with any suggestions you have. Contact us by clicking Quick Tips Ideas.
