How should I clean my POC Tectal helmet?

Troubleshooting
Helmet feels too tight or too loose.
Readjust the 360° size adjustment system dial at the rear of the helmet. Ensure the straps are also properly adjusted for a secure, yet comfortable fit.
Ventilation seems insufficient.
Ensure the vents are clear of debris. While designed for optimal airflow, extreme conditions may still lead to heat buildup. Take breaks as needed.
Peak is obstructing vision.
Adjust the angle of the helmet peak using the provided adjustment points. Find a position that offers protection without interfering with your line of sight.
Visor or straps are dirty.
Gently clean the visor and straps with a damp cloth and mild soap. Rinse with clean water and allow to air dry completely.
