Before you reinstall those pads and liners, you might want
to clean them first! Unless the helmet is brand new,
those pads are probably not the cleanest in the world.
So, I use an old toothbrush and handcleaner; yes, handcleaner!
My favorite two are GoJo and Fast Orange, but feel free
to use your favorite or whatever is available. Handcleaner
cuts through the dirt, grime, and other residues on the
pads/liners, and also do a good job of restoring some of
the original luster to the surface (depending upon use or
abuse, that is...). You could also use a Brillo or
SOS pad to clean the pads and liners. Once cleaned,
wash thoroughly in water and allow to dry before reinstalling
into the helmet. Install the cheekpads, facemask,
chinstrap, and other accessories as you require.
