A lot of people seem to think that because a motorcycle helmet is strong, that it can sustain rough treatment. This is in fact incorrect, and its really important to handle your head gear gently.
Remember you are depending on this piece of protective head gear to potentially save your life in the event of an accident so treat it with the respect that this job deserves.
Follow the guidelines presented below and you can be confident that your helmet will be in peak condition if called upon to perform.
Firstly, always read the manufacturers instruction. They may contain specific information with regard to what cleaning materials may and may not be used on your brand of helmet.
If you can avoid it, do not carry a spare helmet around on your bike with you, unless it is being worn by your passenger. Most motorcycles are not designed to carry a spare safely, and therefore do not offer the necessary protection.
Make sure the guard for your face is always clean. Check with your helmet manual, but if in doubt use a very gentle and mild soap or detergent, with a soft cloth. Something that you would use on sensitive skin. If your face guard gets scratched, it is highly recommended that you replace it. The effect of a scratch is magnified during night driving, and also if you are driving into the sun.
Try not to leave your safety helmet balancing on your seat when you are not on the bike. Your seat if for your bottom, not for your hat. Find somewhere safe and flat.
Lastly, do not fit a helmet radio that needs you to drill into your hat.

Your helmet needs to be treated for what it is, a vital sophisticated piece of engineering. It is neither an accessory nor a fashion statement.
