Cleaning a helmet after smoke damage

Take out the lining wash it out with baking soda and detergent... Then let it dry on a heat register.. If that doesn't fix it, you're SOL.

Get a new lining? I know with my x12s I can replace any part of it. ..

What kind of smoke damage? Was it in a house fire? or were you lighting up Rothmans with the visor down?

Everything is removable on the Arai's, at least it is on my Corsairs. And was on my old X11.

As for the vents and such, that's where some patience, qtips and isopropyl alcohol come in.

well, there's another thing you can try, you have nothing to lose really. 

remove everything from the helmet that you can, liner, pads, breath guard, vents if possible, etc.

Get a small tub, fill it with a basic shampoo (like baby shampoo for example, you don't want that 2in1 shit), add water.

Rinse your entire helmet gently to remove and loose gunk in or out, then submerge/wash your entire helmet in the shampoo tub you've set up. scrub gently and get that shampoo goodness in all the nooks and crannies. Rinse.

gently wipe dry the exterior so it doesn't leave spots, and then rest the helmet on a drying rack to let fully dry. If that doesn't at least improve the smell of the helmet, then I'm not sure what more can be done. I did this with my shoei and HJC a few years ago and it worked well. gets all the dead bugs out of the vents too. 

This is exactly what the nice folks at Arai told me to do...took them long enough to respond but hey atleast they did

Washed all the removable liner so far, gonna give the shell a bath soon...

Cock suckers at allstate refuse to pay for it. I hate insurance adjusters more than politicians...

Generally, only people found too evil to operate your typical GTA tow truck become insurance adjusters.
