JAKARTA - For those who often ride motorbikes, helmets are loyal friends who must always be well cared for. Because helmets are not only about appearance, but also about comfort and safety while on the road.

But how to properly care for helmets? Djodi Fernanda, Founder & CEO of Helmet and Care Indonesia, gave valuable tips on helmet maintenance. According to him, helmet care is actually very easy to do.

"It is necessary to wash the helmet at least once a week. This will keep the helmet foam clean and avoid germs and bacteria from the head," said Djudi to VOI, Thursday, October 5.

He added that the helmet washing process should use special soap, especially to clean the foam that is prone to dirt and germs. After washing, the helmet needs to be dried using a dryer for 1-2 hours to make sure all parts of the helmet are completely dry.

During the washing process, polesan and semi-coating finishing were also carried out so that the helmet looked clean and like it had just returned. Djudi emphasized the importance of helmet maintenance because when the helmet is not treated properly, it can interfere with the concentration of the rider. This is due to the growth of fungi and bacteria in the helmet.

Regarding prices, the half-face helmet can be treated at a cost of around Rp. 50,000, while the full face helmet is around Rp. 55 thousand.

So, never underestimate helmet maintenance. Clean and well-maintained helmets not only make it look cool on the road, but also maintain comfort and safety while driving.
