Re: smelly helmet vs smelly doc band

[Guest guest]

Hi Again Everyone..Kassidy's helmet is custom made at an orthotist

and we were told to use only shampoo to clean it. I guess the

foam/inner material in the doc is more tolerant to the alcohol. In

any case at least the shampoo is working and she smells pretty

good. Hopefully as the weather gets better, we can leave it on the

patio to dry and it will smell better!

Best to all and Happy Mother's day!

Wanda, Mom to Kassidy, 9 months!
