Best way to clean and sanitize a football helmet

Commercial cleaners and polishes may damage the helmet shell or liner (and void your warranty)
Cleaning should be limited to regular dish soap (non-citrus) and water
Use a sponge or toothbrush to scrub nooks and crannies
Do not submerge helmet in water
Rinse after cleaning and allow the product to completely dry
Sanitize using our preferred Diamond Seal Ultra Blitz application by an electrostatic sprayer set to fine mode (more effective) or traditional spray bottle set to mist mode
Apply in a well-ventilated area while wearing a respirator
Spray inside and out and do not wipe off
Ultra Blitz’s active ingredient remains effective for up to 28 days
Other systems, like Ozone, can be used for sanitization as well

NOTE: Avoid warm, dark, moist storage areas. Proper storage should be in a well-ventilated conditioned space
