How to clean your helmet the easy way

Stop sniggering at the back and pay attention !

You will need.
1. 2 Tea towels
2. Soapy water

Following are optional and can be substituted
3. Teabag, boiling water and sugar
4. A mug

Soak a teatowel in warm to hot soapy water.
Wrap your fly splattered helmet in soaked teatowel.
Make brew and drink it. optional, can be substituted for a tinny
Return to helmet and wipe wet teatowel over surface, any flies will now be reduced to mush and will wipe off easily, sticking to teatowel.
Dry off with soft clean teatowel, and put back in helmet bag to keep dust off.

Re: How to clean your helmet the easy way

what, you'd use the same teatowels that you've just cleaned fly giblets off, for your cups and saucers ? Flies eat poo you know
I have 2 special ones for it that live in the garage.
