Or like I said, use a pillow case that probably all have a few at home anyway

Front-load washing machine on Gentle with Woolight. Pop in dryer on cool-dry and remove from dryer when done. This is your new back-up helmet. Now you have a reason to go buy a new helmet.

You're welcome!

I use vinigar. Nothing cuts through sweat better.

I've been wearing a cap under my helmet for years now. I started doing it more to keep the sweat from dripping in my eyes as opposed to saving my helmet. The added bonus too is that if any bugs fly in the vents, I don't panic.

That said the straps on my helmet are nice and salty. They definitely need a rinse now and then. Speaking of which, I really should give them a rinse. They are overdue.
