airtwardo 6 #26 May 29, 2014 wan2doit Had a freezer in the garage unplug due to a pipe falling on the plug w/o me knowing it for a few days. The bad smell was unimaginable. The cure - If you place a cup of clorox and a cup of ammonia next to each other in the bottom of the freezer and leave the door shut for three days, you will rid the smell. Just don't mix the liquids or do it indoors!!!! The reaction between the gases will neutralize all odors : The reaction between the liquids might neutralize you : So in the helmet's case possibly use a couple of small containers w/each liquid, position the helmet over them and cover it for a few days with some plastic. Kind of like tenting a house. So...chlorine gas & hydrochloric acid on your head are better than the sweat funk? I bet that tenting scheme would do more to dissolve the lining~ and THAT would probably rid the smell... ~ If you choke a Smurf, what color does it turn? ~ Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
wan2doit 6 #27 May 29, 2014 This totally worked for an upright freezer made of metal and plastic with a bunch more stink than a helmet could have unless u dunk the helmet in a 200 lb pile of decaying meat. Never tried this process on a helmet - only a freezer. OR fill the helmet up with Arm & Hammer baking soda for a while to do the job. This ain't rocket science.

OR...maybe try sponging down the liner with warm soapy water - rinse & repeat. . .let dry Like ya said - ain't rocker surgery. ~ If you choke a Smurf, what color does it turn? ~ Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
