Inside the Tech: How Helm Care Deep Cleaning Works
What if your helmet could clean itself — from the inside out — in just 5 minutes?
What if that clean wasn’t just “surface fresh,” but medical-grade disinfection?
That’s the promise of Helm Care — and it’s powered by one of the most compact, efficient, and elegant deep-cleaning systems ever built for daily motorcyclists.
We’re lifting the hood to show you exactly how our machines clean, sanitize, deodorize, and dry helmets without ever touching a single sponge.
The Problem with Dirty Helmets
Most riders don’t clean their helmets — and for good reason.
It’s hard to do right. The foam padding traps sweat and dust. The fabric holds onto smells. And traditional cleaning methods? Messy, slow, and inconsistent. Worse — many users try wiping the inside with alcohol or water, damaging materials over time.
Yet inside your helmet, bacteria multiply fast. Especially in tropical climates like Indonesia, moisture builds up quickly. One study found that helmets worn daily can contain more bacteria than a public toilet seat.
It’s not just about odor.
It’s about your health.
Helm Care’s 4-Phase Deep Cleaning Cycle
Each Helm Care machine is a sealed, smart unit that performs a fully automated 4-stage process:
1.Dry Mist Penetration
We start with a proprietary dry mist — a fine spray that reaches deep into the foam padding. Unlike liquid solutions, it doesn’t leave the helmet wet or damage sensitive inner layers. The mist carries a cleaning agent that loosens dirt and neutralizes microbes at their source.
2.UVC Light Sterilization
Next, industrial-grade UVC lamps (not UV-A or B) flood the interior with sterilizing light. These specific wavelengths penetrate cell walls of viruses, fungi, and bacteria, breaking their DNA.
⚡ Effectiveness: over 99.99% disinfection rate in controlled tests.
This is the same tech used in hospitals — now packed into a vending-size unit.
3. Ozone Odor Neutralization
UVC kills the microbes. But what about the smell?
That’s where ozone kicks in — a naturally occurring gas that oxidizes and destroys lingering odors. Unlike perfumes or sprays, ozone doesn’t mask smell. It chemically removes it. Smoke, mold, sweat — gone.
4. Smart Air Drying
Finally, a soft but thorough warm airflow dries the helmet completely. This isn’t a hairdryer — it’s a calibrated system designed for helmets, ensuring even drying of all layers.
No dampness. No risk of mold returning. Ready to wear.
Why It Works — and Why It’s Better
Traditional helmet cleaning takes hours, often involves disassembly, and still leaves uncertainty.
Helm Care machines are:
- Fully touchless
- Fast — 5 minutes
- Safe for all helmet types
- Eco-friendly — no water waste, no chemicals
- Available in public locations — 24/7 access
Plus, users can pay with a simple QR scan (GoPay, OVO, ShopeePay) or NFC. Cleanliness has never been this convenient.
Clean Tech with a Mission
We didn’t just build a helmet cleaner.
We built a movement of care.
Helm Care isn’t only about technology. It’s about changing behavior. Clean helmets = healthier riders. Cleaner habits = safer streets. Better hygiene = better culture.
And 4% of every profit goes toward community impact: donations, education campaigns, environmental clean-ups. When you use a Helm Care machine, you’re not just cleaning your gear — you’re cleaning the future.
Next time you ride, ask yourself:
Is your helmet really clean?
Or just “not obviously dirty”?
Let us show you the difference.
Find your nearest Helm Care station and experience deep clean — done right.
