JAKARTA - Helmet is one of the mandatory equipment for every motorcyclist, because it plays an important role in maintaining safety while driving. However, have you ever experienced a helmet that emits an unpleasant odor or even a bad smell? This condition can be very annoying, and there are actually several reasons.

According to Djudi Fernanda, Founder & CEO of Helmet and Care Indonesia, the smell of agen on a helmet usually comes from bacteria growing in helmets, mainly due to sweat or air pollution.

"Bau apek is the source of bacteria that settle on helmets, usually from sweat and air police," said Djudi Fernanda - Founder & CEO, Helmet and Care Indonesia, to VOI, some time ago.

In addition, according to him, there are also other things that can make helmets smell bad, such as wearing helmets when hair is still wet, especially if you use oily hair care products. This can make the inside of the helmet stick.

To avoid this problem, Djudi recommends some simple steps. First, avoid wearing a helmet while your hair is still wet. Always make sure your hair is completely dry before wearing a helmet. In addition, be diligent in caring for and washing your helmet properly. Cleaning the helmet in the right way can help kill bacteria that may develop in it.

There are also other options, namely using a special perfume for helmets so that your helmet remains fresh and avoids the pungent smell. So, make sure you follow these tips to keep your helmet fragrant and comfortable when used.
