Helmet Head Stank???

I was told to post this over here as well...

DS has been wearing his helmet for 2 months now.  He has sweaty head stink from it and I am looking for a tip on how to take care of this.  I wash it with a toothbrush and swirl alcohol around in it and let it dry.  It still stinks.  Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

    If his head is sweating, our therapist told us to take off the helmet, wipe down the head and the helmet and put it back on.  You're "allowed" to do that as much as needed for sweat.

    I wash mine with a washcloth and alcohol every night.  It stinks before I wash it but not after.  Maybe use a little more alcohol??

    can you put baby powder in there?

    i can only imagine how that is... my DS had the worst stinky neck from sweat, etc... his head/neck was so sweaty- i can't imagine how a helmet would have been on him.

    poor little guy! i hope you can find something that works.

    According to my instructions, the only thing that is approved to use is alcohol.  Sad

    My ds wore a helmet too. ?When I took it off at bathtime, I washed it w/his baby shampoo, then rinsed, & then wiped it out w/rubbing alcohol. ?I used 2 separate washcloths...one for the shampoo wash & one for the alcohol. ?I also found that the 70% alcohol did not "cut the funk" quite as well as the stronger strength (I think it was 90%). ?Not all stores carry the higher % rubbing alcohol, so shop around. ?It always stunk when I took it off, but not after cleaning. ?HTH!

    We just got ours last week. I was told to wash it in the morning with baby shampoo and evenings with rubbing alcohol. We also apply Caldesene powder to the inside of the band to help with the sweet. Let me know what works for you just incase I have the same problem. My little man has very sensitive skin.

    GL!

    I know all about that stink - we had a different kind though - we just popped ours in the dishwasher a couple of times a week.

    Thank you for all of your replies...I am using the 70% alcohol so I am going to try the stronger stuff first.
