Motorcycle helmets get tired, sweaty and dirty. When you get hot, you start sweating. Your head sweats as much as the rest of your body, maybe even more. And the sweat needs to go somewhere, and on your head, that somewhere is your helmet.
After a day riding off-road, or in the blistering sun, quite a lot of sweat will have accumulated in your helmet. That has several drawbacks; it will stink, and more importantly, bacteria will start growing like mushrooms in a cave.
For companies that hire out motorcycles and helmets, it is even more important to make sure helmets are sterile and clean. Would you want to hire a helmet that has someone's sweat in it? I know I don't...
One of the solutions is to send your helmet to a Helmet Spa  . A company in the USA is looking at making a machine that will clean your helmet inside out. Several solutions are looked at, from a machine that will clean a single helmet, ideal for a home that has a very active rider(s), costing US$695 to companies that need to clean several helmets at the same time (like rentals, sports clubs, circuits, etc) costing $4595.
If you look at the manufacturer's web site, you'll see some "ugly" photos of what bacteria can do to you. Just make sure you haven't eaten yet.
