Did a search and found nothing

So my helmet is as dirty as a three day old diaper. Whats the best cleaning technique? Oh, it's a bell balistic full face and the inner pads aren't removable.
I was thinking about tearing the pads out to wash them. Then using velcro to stick them back in.
My helmet and I thankyou all in advance :)

I would probably just soak it in the bathhtub in some soapy water, squeezing the pads occasionally to get out as much dirt as possible.

Soak in a bath tub then squeeze or push on pads until clean water comes out of them. Then repeat. Use a wet/dry vac and suck out the remaining water. Then let dry in the sun for a day or two. Febreeze it. Let it dry in the sun as long as you can. If you cant use the sun, sit it by a fan. You want it to dry as quickly as possible.

Nope, just make sure to dry it out quickly and completely. Use a fan and heat. Set it on a heater vent in the house for a few days or in the sun. I clean my helmet a lot and have never had a problem. I like a clean helmet.
