Any tips on cleaning removable linings (mine's a Shoei fwiw)?

Thanks in advance...

Don't Shoei provide instructions? For the non-removable lining in my Arai I use baby shampoo and the shower but I'd imagine for a removable lining you could use mild detergent of the sort you can get for doing hand-washing. My next lid will definitely have a removable lining - washing the whole lid's a pain in the ar*e and it takes ages to dry.
