Wet Cleaning (Water Washing)

• Removing the interior lining
• Washing with soap and water
• Air drying or blow drying

• The interior absorbs water and can take hours to dry
• Frequent washing weakens material and affects shape
• Coatings may peel or become damaged
• Hard-to-reach seams still trap bacteria and dirt

Dry Cleaning (Automatic Helmet Cleaning Machine)

• Fine mist atomization cleaning agents
• UV and ozone sterilization
• Hot-air drying and fragrance retention
• No disassembly required

Advantages:

• Protects the helmet structure
• No water absorption issues
• Faster and more efficient
• Designed for daily or frequent cleaning

Why Wet Cleaning Is Not Ideal for Frequent Use

Wet cleaning works when a helmet is extremely dirty, but:

• It takes too long
• It is not suitable for everyday cleaning
• Moisture increases bacterial regrowth if not fully dried
• The helmet becomes uncomfortable to wear right after washing

For daily riders, quick dry-cleaning is more practical and healthier.
