I usually spray my boots off when I wash my bike after a day of riding. But I've never cleaned the inside, and since I've had them it seems dust/dirt works its way inside my boots and builds up. I've got the bulk of the dirt out of my boots, but still look brown inside. Would it work to put them upside down in the dishwasher to spray the inside? Would the heat cause any problems with them?
Also, same question with my helmet. I wipe the heavies off but sometimes its hard to get the dirt inside the edges and inside of my helmet. I take the foam out and throw it in the wash. Is there any reason I cant throw then helmet in the dishwash without the foam inserts?

I have however put goggles without the lens on the top rack of the dishwasher to clean the foam and strap!!
Otherwise just spray the inside of your boots/helmet like suggested or just put soapy water in and scrub with your hand.

I soak my pants, jersey, and gloves in the sink in water with 2 scoops of oxy clean, but can never get the white parts white again. They are usually a little brown still after I pull them out of the washer. Any tips?
Toss a little simple green in the machine when you wash your gear. Comes out looking like new and smells fresh.
Wash helmet liner with shampoo, remove helmet and instant Fabio.
edit- don't do that...
