RE: Shoei Multitec Cleaning

[Skywagon]

I have a multitec that is about 6 months old now. I want to clean the inside. All I could find was clean with a neutral cleaning agent. I wrote to Shoei and asked what that was and could they make a recommendation. I got an answer from a tech that said use shampoo.

 

Does that sound right or should I use something else?

I run mine through the dishwasher....jus' kiddin'..

 

I use the mildest detergent I can find. Biosuds at REI.

 

I'm assuming you have detachable liner.

Shampoo is good- basically the worry is that if you use anything too strong it will damage the glue or the polystyreen liner.

I use very dilute washing up liquid (wait for the howls of derision...) with just a dash of an antibacterial soap or failing that the tiniest tiniest drop of Dettol or bleach.

Loads of hot water- not hotter than hand hot - and thorough rinsing with lukewarm water.

 

The inside of my Shoei Raid2 is still good after four years.

 

Conclusion- shampoo good... antibacterial hand soap also good...
