2talltim Posted August 26, 2012 Report Share Posted August 26, 2012 (edited) Well just like the title says im trying to de-smell my sons helmet. We went on a little off road adventure with the V-strom and i guess all the bumps and heat were too much for my son, he tapped me on the sholder and said he felt sick but by the time i stopped and he stared fumbling with the chin strap he didn't have time, out it came:puke:. We stopped at a gas station and hosed it out to make the 40 mile ride home barable. It is a cheap Zox helmet that not all the liners come out, only the head piece and cheekpads come out the mouth guard and chin straps are not removable(and thats where the smell is). Ive washed it by hand a couple times with laundrt soap and the hose and spayed lysol disinfecant in it, but it still smells to beat hell. The next step is to let it dry and try fabrease. I hate to go buy another one just so he wil out grow it by this time next year.Can a MOD fix the title please...yes, I'm a moron Edited August 26, 2012 by 2talltim Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

snot Posted August 26, 2012 Report Share Posted August 26, 2012 Try using a combination of vinger to neutralize, then oxy clean or peroxide, finally after it dries sprinkle baking soda inside then vacuum out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Helmutt Posted August 26, 2012 Report Share Posted August 26, 2012 I'd just replace it. If he grows out of it quickly, hand it down or sell it cheap. Without being able to take the pads out, you'll probably never get all the yak out from behind 'em. Bile is one nasty enzyme that putridly outlasts any deodorizer that I know of. My old truck was puked in, wife scrubbed it, I scrubbed it several times, never could get it all......nasty. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gixxie750 Posted August 26, 2012 Report Share Posted August 26, 2012 Completely submerge helmet in warm(not hot) water with dawn dish soap. Shake and scrub. Air dry with a fan. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MidgetTodd Posted August 26, 2012 Report Share Posted August 26, 2012 A new helmet. Don't be a cheap ass on a cheap ass helmet. You won't get the smell out and vomit is stomach acid which breaks down the pads anyway. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
C-bus Posted August 26, 2012 Report Share Posted August 26, 2012 Puke smell never comes out. I've left about a half dozen car seats in Walmart dumpsters (and parking lots) over the years. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Air dry with a fan.This may be the best way to get it the cleanest. After its dry maybe then try dousing it with the febreeze? Or just buy him a modular so it can be flipped up in a panic spew scenario Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
snot Posted August 27, 2012 Report Share Posted August 27, 2012 Ice cream and DR Pepper...good luck! Sour milk smell is hard to get out, and DR P has 23 flavors...new helmet might be best. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
