Storage of rarely used helmets.

Used my new/first full facer yesterday. Before I just fire it back under the stairs in it's storage bag, is it wise to give the inside a spray with something anti bacterial? Uplift day, so not horribly sweaty, but even so it's going to sit for a good few months before it's next outing. 

If yes, then what?

IDK. I just let it dry out then put it in its fabric bag and pop it in the top of the wardrobe until next time.

So that's the same approach as I employ for my rarely used knee and elbow pads then. 😁 Great, cheers gents. 👍

I normally rinse the pads and then air dry outside (current weather is perfect for that) or on a radiator in winter.

I had a bit of space in our utility room on the wall next to the boiler, and put up a metal IKEA pan rack from which metal S-hooks hang for helmets to hang on. Means they can air and are easily accessible.

Putting slightly damp and/or sweaty stuff in a bag under the stairs is asking for bacterial mankiness 🤢

Hung up in the garden office. The FF and goggles still decorated with Dyfi mud from a very wet day
