Many of the hats now have removeable liners, allowing you to pop the liner in the washing machine.  This not only cleans and reinvigorates the padding in the liner but it also removes any mould and odours.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Riding helmets really do need to be looked after correctly and it is important to use products which are formulated for the job.  <br><br>We do not recommend putting your riding helmet into the the dishwasher, washing machine or sending it away to be dry cleaned.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If your hat doesn&#8217;t have a removeable liner, we recommend using the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.forelockandload.com\/rider-clothing\/riding-hats\/charles-owen-hat-cleaner-and-deodoriser-2-in-1-250ml__4242\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" title=\"Charles Owen Helmet Cleaner and Deodorant.  \">Charles Owen Helmet Cleaner and Deodorant.  <\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter size-large is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.citrus-lime.com\/flld\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/61\/2023\/02\/Charles-Owen-2-in-1-helmet-cleaner-1-462x1024.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-2200669\" width=\"212\" height=\"470\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blog.citrus-lime.com\/flld\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/61\/2023\/02\/Charles-Owen-2-in-1-helmet-cleaner-1-462x1024.jpg 462w, https:\/\/blog.citrus-lime.com\/flld\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/61\/2023\/02\/Charles-Owen-2-in-1-helmet-cleaner-1-135x300.jpg 135w, https:\/\/blog.citrus-lime.com\/flld\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/61\/2023\/02\/Charles-Owen-2-in-1-helmet-cleaner-1-768x1702.jpg 768w, https:\/\/blog.citrus-lime.com\/flld\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/61\/2023\/02\/Charles-Owen-2-in-1-helmet-cleaner-1-693x1536.jpg 693w, https:\/\/blog.citrus-lime.com\/flld\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/61\/2023\/02\/Charles-Owen-2-in-1-helmet-cleaner-1-924x2048.jpg 924w, https:\/\/blog.citrus-lime.com\/flld\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/61\/2023\/02\/Charles-Owen-2-in-1-helmet-cleaner-1.jpg 952w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 212px) 100vw, 212px\" \/><figcaption>Charles Owen 2 in 1 Hat Cleaner and Deodoriser.<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>The Charles Owen helmet cleaner and deodoriser provides a simple and quick cleaning solution.  The product has been recently relaunched and is an eco formula which gently breaks up dirt and grease and effectively removes sweat, make up, sunscreen and dust.  The deodorising agents also neutralise any bacteria and leave your riding hat smelling fresh with a subtle scent of lemon and  grapefruit.  It really is so easy to use, spray onto the lining of your riding hat and then leave it to dry in a cool place.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Step by step guide to clean your riding helmet<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>Spray the Charles Owen Helmet Cleaner and Deodoriser on to the headband of your riding hat.<\/li><li>Leave for 2-3 minutes to allow the cleaner the time to break down the dirt and sweat.<\/li><li>Taking a damp cloth, gently work the product into the headband.  Please make sure the cloth is well wrung out and you do not excessively wet the headband. <\/li><li>Repeat the whole way around the inside of the riding hat.<\/li><li>Using a soft brush or damp cloth gently wipe the outside of your riding hat to remove any surface dirt.  <\/li><li>Once you have completed the above steps, leave your riding hat in a cool dry place to dry.  We never recommend riding helmets being placed on radiators, AGA&#8217;s, in front open fires or left in the sun.  <\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter size-large is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.citrus-lime.com\/flld\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/61\/2023\/02\/CO-black-ProII-Plus-1100x1100px-1024x1024.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-2200704\" width=\"451\" height=\"451\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blog.citrus-lime.com\/flld\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/61\/2023\/02\/CO-black-ProII-Plus-1100x1100px-1024x1024.png 1024w, https:\/\/blog.citrus-lime.com\/flld\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/61\/2023\/02\/CO-black-ProII-Plus-1100x1100px-300x300.png 300w, https:\/\/blog.citrus-lime.com\/flld\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/61\/2023\/02\/CO-black-ProII-Plus-1100x1100px-150x150.png 150w, https:\/\/blog.citrus-lime.com\/flld\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/61\/2023\/02\/CO-black-ProII-Plus-1100x1100px-768x768.png 768w, https:\/\/blog.citrus-lime.com\/flld\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/61\/2023\/02\/CO-black-ProII-Plus-1100x1100px-370x370.png 370w, https:\/\/blog.citrus-lime.com\/flld\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/61\/2023\/02\/CO-black-ProII-Plus-1100x1100px.png 1100w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 451px) 100vw, 451px\" \/><figcaption>Riding Helmet<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>If you are unsure on how to clean your hat or <a href=\"https:\/\/www.forelockandload.com\/blog\/riding-hat-fitting\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" title=\"if the fit doesn't feel\">if the fit doesn&#8217;t feel<\/a> quite right, do pop in and we will help.  <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>How to clean your riding helmet. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":98,"featured_media":2200056,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_eb_attr":"","_price":"","_stock":"","_tribe_ticket_header":"","_tribe_default_ticket_provider":"","_tribe_ticket_capacity":"0","_ticket_start_date":"","_ticket_end_date":"","_tribe_ticket_show_description":"","_tribe_ticket_show_not_going":false,"_tribe_ticket_use_global_stock":"","_tribe_ticket_global_stock_level":"","_global_stock_mode":"","_global_stock_cap":"","_tribe_rsvp_for_event":"","_tribe_ticket_going_count":"","_tribe_ticket_not_going_count":"","_tribe_tickets_list":"[]","_tribe_ticket_has_attendee_info_fields":false,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[8,116],"tags":[106,49,13,141,259,258,203],"class_list":{"0":"post-2200664","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-equestrian","8":"category-general","9":"tag-equestrian","10":"tag-eventing","11":"tag-forelock-and-load","12":"tag-horse-riders","13":"tag-horse-riding-hat","14":"tag-how-to-clean-a-riding-hat","15":"tag-riding-hat"},"featured_image_src":"https:\/\/blog.citrus-lime.com\/flld\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/61\/2022\/08\/Keira-123.jpg","author_info":{"display_name":"Kirstie","author_link":"https:\/\/blog.citrus-lime.com\/flld\/author\/kirstie\/"},"aioseo_notices":[],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"https:\/\/blog.citrus-lime.com\/flld\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/61\/2022\/08\/Keira-123.jpg","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/blog.citrus-lime.com\/flld\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2200664","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/blog.citrus-lime.com\/flld\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/blog.citrus-lime.com\/flld\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blog.citrus-lime.com\/flld\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/98"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blog.citrus-lime.com\/flld\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=2200664"}],"version-history":[{"count":14,"href":"https:\/\/blog.citrus-lime.com\/flld\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2200664\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":2200920,"href":"https:\/\/blog.citrus-lime.com\/flld\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2200664\/revisions\/2200920"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blog.citrus-lime.com\/flld\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/2200056"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/blog.citrus-lime.com\/flld\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=2200664"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blog.citrus-lime.com\/flld\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=2200664"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blog.citrus-lime.com\/flld\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=2200664"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
