How to clean your sex toy — step by step
The right routine after every use keeps your toy intact and your body healthy.
After every use
Rinse with lukewarm water and mild, fragrance-free soap. Avoid alcohol and harsh cleaners because they damage silicone and plastic.
Deep cleaning
- Pure silicone without a motor: boil for 3–5 minutes
- Motorised toys: wipe clean and never submerge unless waterproof
- Glass and metal: boil or wash thoroughly
Storage
Let the toy dry completely before storing it in a fabric pouch. Keep different materials apart because they may react.
