Which Motorcycle Helmet Cleaner Is Best? 

I'm a simple man, I see a Chaos Causes video, i like and watch.

Most underrated channel EVER!!! The quality of the videos are 10/10 !!

Arguably one of THE best motorcycle enthusiast channels on RU-vid period!

That was the most comprehensive helmet cleaning video I have ever seen 👍🏻

I do it as it says in my helmet's manual: outer shell and visor are cleaned with damp soft cloth, interior is taken out and washed either like you showed at the start by hand or in washing machine on lowest temperature and without fabric softener. I have done that for my HJC TR-1 helmet few times and I washed interior of my RPHA 11 twice since I got it and it is still tight as before. I think that it even gets a bit tighter after washing too. I tend to wash it when I don't plan to ride for few days. So I wash it and leave interior pads to air dry away from the sun for about 24-48 hours. It worked for me so far so I think I'll continue that practice.

Great video Chaos Causes! As always! Superb!

THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!!!!! This video helped me out a lot and I can't wait to use my new Motorex Helmet Care coming in the mail.

Amazing video test, love your work, keep going ✌️

Been using Motorex for roughly a year now, tried your way of spraying and OMG it made a difference

Thank you so much 😊🙏 This was much needed

Because of this video, I give Motorex a try and it works amazingly, not on my helmet as I'm new rider, my helmet still under 50km mileage, but on my Razer extended mouse pad, which collected a layer of dead skin of my hand. Motorex really gives it a good cleaning, and I believe it will work perfectly on my helmet too. Thanks for the video

Thank you so much for this video. Motorex is what I currently use and am very happy with it but was curious if something maybe better was out there. Thanks for confirming the others are not so I will be ordering some Motorex today!

I’ve been using the motorex cleaner for a couple years now. I love that stuff!

Yaay, another great Friday!

Thank you, surprisingly informative considering the difficulty in measurement.

Thanks a lot for the review.

Thanks for sharing man! I have been using motorex helmet cleaner for a few years and now wanted to try something else (since I don’t like this motorex a lot). You saved me a lot of time and $$ experimenting on this topic. Will buy motorex again then. Tnx!

Perfect!!!!! Ey bro!! Amazing videos!!

Thank you for this, so far I have been pulling out my lining and cheeckpads and washing inn warm water with a little bit of detergent, then rinsing off under/in clean water and let air dry. I will be ordering Motorex cleaner to try, and maybe use that throughout season and a wash at start and end of a season. Thanks again!

wonderful video motul is my fav.

Hands down the best thing to clean the outside right after the ride is a towel drenched in hot water, ring it out a bit and let it sit on the lid for 5mins or less... Wipe dry with a soft clean Microfiber towel... It will buff clean and is inexpensive with no harsh chemicals...

So true regarding the padding going down after washing by hand.. I felt like my helmet went up a size!

Thank you! There are dozens of videos out there on helmet cleaning but they all focus on the exterior, which is the easiest to clean. The interior is the side I'm more concerned about, a sweaty head pressed for hours up against absorbent foam is a perfect breeding zone for some nasty bacteria.

Nice education! Thanks, from Indonesia 🙏

I've always used Johnson's baby shampoo to thoroughly wash my helmet interior pads, and Motul for my visor and exterior with kitchen-roll soaked in warm water to soften up the cwispy bugs. Interesting to see all the other options, gonna give Motorex a go when the Motul runs out :D

Genuine, inspiring biker

Motorex has a tiny bottle similar to muc off that I use on my exterior and it’s bloody brilliant. Will give the foam a go as well

The muc off visor cleaner works perfectly for my glasses and visor, I’ve noticed it need to be used very lightly to work well. It does cause spots when i’ve sprayed on too much liquid. I need only about a half spray for around 20cm away to clean my glasses so it lasts quite long too.

thanks for this type video, greetings from chile

I pull out the interior and use baby shampoo to clean the linning. Submerge the helmet in a warm water solution of baby shampoo, let sit while I am gently scrubbing the padding. Rince everthing off with cold water, set the helmet and padding in the sun to dry for a day. With a small spray bottle fill with distilled water and 3 drops of cedarwood oil a lite spray of the vents and interior of the helmet wipe excess off . Polish helmet , apply UV protection on any rubber trim , reassenble linning and clean lens. I have been cleaning my helmets this way for years . Depending on the weather your helmet should stay fresh for 3 months or so. If your riding the dirt after every ride you wipe your linning out with a towel and astringent use for acne. This will kill off most of the bacterior that builds up from sweating and keep your helmet fresh until you get to properly clean your helmet. Now if your helmet is 7 to 10 years old you need to replace the linning all together if you can find replacement padding. If not it's time for a new helmet. You can give this method of cleaning your stale smelling helmet a try . I have been cleaning all my helmets this way for years.

Nice video sr. I might recommend Putoline helmet cleaner and sanitizer which is also for inside and outside cleaning of helmet. The nice smell stays in the helmet and the spray mechanism is also superb. Anyway, your video is a very informative product comparison. Thank you. from Philippines.

I've been watching your channel from quite some time, and I really find your videos very interesting, i've watched all of them and the way you make videos on some silly topics, which someone might not like to watch but you still make awesome videos out of it, so far it's the best channel i've ever seen on RU-vid on biking. I would also like to see your videos on group rides, etc. You need some better content to grow your channel, but you really have talent, best of luck👍

Good CONTENT VIDEO'S. I am satisfied for your details from your vídeo content. Thank you.

Love the Guy Martin Sticker 👌👌

As a car detailer I have a lot mild and harsh textile cleaner at hand, a good ph neutral textile cleaner wil do just fine for removing dirt. The smell can be tackled with an ozone machine, which a small one can be found pretty cheap.

I use a can of Shell Visor and helmet cleaner that I’ve had for more than 10 years. It’s suspiciously very similar to Mr Sheen. I wouldn’t be surprised if mr sheen works well on the outside.

Buen canal, sigue hacia adelante!!

Hand soap for my fox v1👍 Always fits exactly the same

Love from Pakistan. I am a huge fan of yours. Thanks man you have helped me a lot.

My tried and trusted method, Sunlight liquid on the visor and outer shell, with one micro fiber cloth used to wash visor and helmet with, and one to dry it with. Inside liners, I cold wash in washing machine, and leave to dry. After a few times I've done this, the liners usually wear out, so I just phone my motorcycle shop, and have them order new ones. Will give the Motorex a try for sure, as it seems like less effort and easier to use, especially when your riding at the track.

Thanks for your testings and this cool video. I also use Motorex products as the Quick cleaner for my bike, Moto protect that as good a tip does an excellent job cleaning the rims and degreaser to clean the chain. It’s actually my local products as I leave in Switzerland ;) Big up for your videos and this cool chanel that I just discovered yesterday !

Hi. Can i use the motorex to clean a textile riding jacket. Great channel keep up the good work

I use liquid moly helmet cleaner 9 months now so far so good

Thanks for the detailed review. Did the Motorex seems to restore the cheek pad's puffiness?

All these expensive products... LOL! All my many many years of riding I have only used 2 products... Cleaning the exterior of the helmet and visor, I use simple Methylated Spirits! Cleans great and is cheap to buy and lasts forever! Also gets the bugs off with ease! Then I treat the visor on both sides with Wynn's C-Thru! BEST EVER WATER REPELLANT! When it rains, just give the head a twist and the water is gone... As for the interior, I never really bothered about it. For R500 you get a new interior, so 1 every 12 - 18 months and you sorted... Cheap is gooooood! Great video bud. 👍👍👍

I'm using S100 Helmpolster-reiniger .made in Germany. Just a few euros. Louis says to spray a little, I made sure the foam soaked in. But on usual days I just use a febreeze antibacterial fabric freshener to keep in bacteria free . If the smell builds up, I will know it's time to go snow foam again

Very nice video

#first #notificationsquad #earlysquad I enjoyed the video 🥰 ride safe, from the Philippines

I use baby shampoo in the same way you washed yours by hand . It removes dirt and oil but the chemicals are gentle on the foam padding. bugs (here in Hawaii at least) come right off with a little mist of water to soften them, and a gentle swipe with a damp microfiber cloth not to leave any swirl marks or scratches on my visor.

I clean mine by spraying it with glass cleaner. Wait for a few seconds and wipe it with microfiber cloth. The inside I wash by hand with warm water and hand soap. :) The foam cleaner looks pretty cool tho,might give it a try.

I wash the interior in the sink with hot water and shampoo. Visor gets washed in the shower. Usually leave it in the bottom whilst I wash, the steam softens all the bugs then I just rinse it with the hot wster.

Lots of bugs on visor. Soak paper towel with warm water and apply to visor, let soak, wipe with microfibre towel

For my helmet I just wipe out the inside with a few baby wipes right after a ride, use a few on my face and head, then take all of the used wipes and stick them all over the helmet, I let them sit and soak and soften up bugs and dirt and then just wipe and I'm done. My helmet and me are both clean and fresh and smell nice with one product. I think the major difference why my helmet is so clean is because I almost always clean directly after a sweaty or dirty ride. I never let it sit and get nasty. I think every motorcyclist should stock up on baby wipes, they are cheap and work great on everything! You can clean your hands, face and gear, they are safe on leather and all textiles, have a mild and nice scent and if you stop somewhere... you have a fresh ass after a bathroom break. Also, I use them for a ghetto bath sometimes on longer rides or if I'm meeting friends or girls, wipe the pits and under carriage and give yourself a wipe down. I cannot praise baby wipes enough. It's nice having one thing that does everything, and not compromising. A good brand will do everything well, no sacrifices for convenience. Try it out!

How often do you clean your helmets? Like after how many months or weeks?

First to amazing content

I where a banaclava with my helmet and I clean my helmet outside with cobra all purpose polish spray or Mr min

Looks like your link for the one re recommend is the wrong one . Says INSIDE only

ive tried muck off... but i didnt like it too much. i usually remove the paddings, use those car foamy seat cleaners, vacuum it off and spray on some spray on disinfectant. to avoid it from being too stinky, i wear a balaclava and change it every 2 days

which visor cleaner is best bro?

I use the Muc off visor cleaner on the complete Helmet outside But they shiped it with another nozzle which is far better Just spray your complete helmet and let the fluid run of it and after 5 minutes wipe it dry No bugs, no dirt is left on the helmet

Bubble gum smell? I'm sold!

Liquivmoly helmet interior cleaner😉 i use last 1 year....its good as like motorex

Will a steam cleaner work

My helmet is dirty af So this video is perfekt for me😂

how can it beat the normal cleaning method of removing all the padding and clean it manually?

My dad always used muck off and Motul and hence I have been using them forever

Well I’m taking your advice and I’m giving motorex ago just ordered some off eBay 👍🏻

hi i am new viewer 😊

Thanks for upload. Are any actually antibacterial? I'd like to completely sanitise my liners. I also bough Foam Fresh and thought it was useless. I doused my liners in the foam, rubbed off - no dirt came off. The citrus smell was SO strong, and then after two days (not wearing helmet) the helmet smell was back.

After cleaning helmets myself with great success (and no damage) I am left skeptical of ALL of the interior cleaners. That sweat, grime and other nasty stuff is impregnated IN the foam liner of the helmet. I'm convinced that if you went an dunked them in warm water after all of the above cleaning then you will still get brown water if you started with a properly dirty helmet. These cleaners just cover up the dirt, no remove them? I guess these products are quick and easy to use and therefore will be used more often leaving a cleaner helmet in the long run? A quick spray down after a weeks riding apposed to an annual tear down and soak. I've used a very mild mix of hand wash clothes detergent (OMO if I'm not mistaken) and a gentle hand wash and rinse... and another rinse, and another till I was convinced all the soap was out. A hot summers day of hanging out to dry in the shade later and my liners smelt good and I dare even think more spongy (read like original) than before. I would not try this in winter as the foam liners would never dry properly.

Hi me again your biggest fan I am buying a Duke 390 Can you give me some advice

What do I do if the helmet foam stinks??

I never had the pads shrinking on me. I wash it by hand using clothing detergent and dry it in the sun. In fact it seems tighter after every clean

I have an agv pista gp, I clean the outside including the visor with a microfiber cloth and spit, I remove the padding and put it in the sink with ordinary everyday washing powder and cold water overnight, take out in the morning Rinse with more cold water, let dry naturally and perfect, absolutely no need for all those specialized products, unless you just enjoy doing it I suppose

Used motorex once, haven't used anything else since.

I just wash the inners in washing machine, the lid itself only with watter nothing else. Scorpion carbon exo1400

God damnnn this is better than the FortNine comparisons

Motorex wins ... 💕❤️🇧🇩

Motul is the best

does everyone this early get a heart :@

Well, in my case I put the paddings inside a laundry machine, delicate cicle, cold wash. Result paddings comes back at the original thickness

that sucks that muc off didn't work that good i use their stuff just be cuz they don't test on animals

I just wear balaclavas. Winter and summer.

Nee tjom, koue water, OMO en n was masjien doen die triek!🤣

How could any product remove any dirt...just wash with soap and water and if the padding is too damaged replace it!

Am I the only one that doesn't clean the padding because I can't put it back in ?

Try steam

The muc off helmet visor cleaner should really not be used on anti fog screens like pinlock screens! I have made that mistake and needed to buy a new screen! It infects the plastic and made it very blurry! Please do not make the same mistake as me!

I wash my helmet 2/3 times in a year, with baby shampoo. Pads stay the same.

wear a balakvava

you shouldnt squish the peds

You dont need any of these. Pull out your padding, throw it on gentle program in your washing mashine for 15min with small amount of detergent, dry it on air and you are done, I dont see any reason your pading foam will disolve or shrink or anything like that. For the exterior, put damped microfiber cloth over your helmet, leave it for 2 mintes to disolve any dirt or bugs, wipe it, and than just finish with dry microfiber cloth and you are ready to go.

All i use is just dettol disinfectant spray and air freshener for inside my helmet.. well it work for lazy person like me who does not want to wash it properly...🤪

I'll probably stay with the bucket for the padding tho

Come on dude reply me give me advice

Suppy water ya know

Keep in mind, wearing the helmet directly on ur skin makes it get dirty faster.

Ya i got screwed by muc-off to lol. Great name, shitty product. Helmet visor cleaner sucks, chain lube sucks as well. Smell good but that’s it.

So throwing my pads in the washer is out of the question, little to late I suppose

Helmet is very important for our RIDE
