# How do I maintain my riding helmet?

For riding helmets with removable foam, the inner removable liner can be taken out and machine washed. Follow the manufacturer’s washing instructions, or opt for a gentle wash cycle.

If the inner foam of your helmet is non-removable, specific care products are available in our [care section](https://vestride.com/gb/15-cleaning) to clean the shell and purify the interior of your helmet.

Daily use of a [helmet bag](https://vestride.com/gb/39-bags-and-storage) is strongly recommended for safe transport and storage.
