Every manufacturer I’m aware of recommends replacing your helmet every five years. However, the accumulation of sweat, humidity, and dust can deteriorate the liners fabric and stitching much sooner than that. They may also cause an odor you won’t enjoy.
If your helmet lining pads aren’t removable, most manufacturers will recommend a product like Helmet Fresh. It will get rid of any bacteria or mildew that is good for neither the helmet nor you.
For helmets with removable pads, you can toss them in the washing machine (personally, I use a mild soap) and then let them air dry. If you’re in a hurry you can use a blow dryer, but only if you can turn the heat off.
