Answer 1

If it's kind of gross on the inside, use a damp cloth with a mild soap to scrub it.

On the outside, if it's just dirt, use a lint roller to get the loose stuff off. Then, if there's still stuff on it, scrub it with a damp cloth. Don't use paper towels, it will leave lint all over it.

Answer 2

The IRH has a micro suede fabric that you can clean with a damp cloth.  It its got a layer of dirt and dust and the entire helmet need to be cleaned then yes, you can put it in the dishwasher.  But just don't tell the manufacturer.  Its not recommended.

Directions:

Top shelf (no other dishes)

no soap

no heat

short rinse cycle

Takes a day or two to dry.

If you have a really bad sweat mark on the liner you can take a drop, a drop, of soap to it and work it in to break up the sweat.  Just take a hose and hose it out first then put in the dishwasher.

In between deep cleanings you can use a helmet spray.  The spray will neutralize the odor and keep the stink out.  Make sure you are not putting a sweaty helmet back in its case or bag.  let it dry first.  

Charles Owen makes a good one.  You can buy it from

Pretty inexpensive too.

Answer 3

im not sure what an 'IRH' is? but if that means its like a velvet hat then they say to boil a kettel and hold it over the steam then use a soft brush all over it.ive never tryed it cause ive always been too lazy aswell! lol

Answer 4

I too put my GPA in the top rack of the dishwasher without soap.  Turn off the dry cycle too.  Afterwards I place my helmet upsidedown and let it dry in the sun.  It comes out really nice!  Good luck!
