how to deep clean sex toys

Hey friend! So, funny thing happened the other day. I was trying to do some deep cleaning of my sex toys and I must admit I had no idea where to start. I knew the basics, like cleaning with soap and water, but didn’t really know what to do if I was cleaning something made of a silicone material! That’s why I’m writing this blog, to tell you how to deep clean your sex toys in case you ever need to.

First things first, safety is key here! Be sure to put on some gloves and maybe even use a face mask for good measure. Not only will it keep any bacteria off your hands, but it also protects your lungs from any dust that might be on your toys. Another important tip is to do a spot test on an inconspicuous area to make sure the cleaner, soapy water, or wipe won’t damage your sex toy.

Now that we have the safety precautions out of the way, let’s get to the cleaning process! One option is to use soap and water, cleaning all crevices and surfaces with a cloth, brush, or even a Q-tip. You’ll want to pay special attention to areas where bodily fluids, lubes, and oils might have accumulated as these can be free breeding grounds for bacteria.

The next step is to do something called boiling. Boiling is an amazing way to deep clean delicate and porous items such as sex toys.

Of course, you may want to avoid this steps if you have expensive materials that aren’t water safe. But if you want to take your cleaning to the next level, boiling is the way to go!

If boiling isn’t your cup of tea, you can always use UV light sanitizers. These amazing tools send out UV-C rays that kill germs, bacteria, and viruses in a matter of minutes. Just make sure to read the instructions thoroughly and use caution, as direct UV-Cray exposure can damage the toy.

If you’re like me and don’t want to mess with either of these methods, a wiping cloth with a bit of rubbing alcohol is an easy way to keep things clean. Simply rub the cloth over the surface of the toy and let it sit for a few minutes before wiping away and letting air dry. You can also use wipes that say they are designed for sex toy cleaning, though they usually don’t remove all the germs like boiling or UV light.

Finally, after all this cleaning let’s talk about storage. Keeping your sex toys in a cool, dry, and dark area helps protect them from mold and mildew buildup. If you can, put them in a cloth drawstring bag to keep out debris and dust. Oh, and make sure to clean the bath or wherever you’re store your sex toys and not to keep them in the same spot where you shower or bathe.

This ensures that no foreign bacteria or oils will be introduced to your body during use, reducing the risk of irritation and infection. Regular deep cleaning also helps extend the life of the toy, making it an important part of regular upkeep.

Also, it’s important to choose the right type of cleaner for your toy. Silicone-based lubricants and cleaners should be used for Penis Rings silicone-based toys, and water or oil-based lubricants should be used for anything else. Avoid using soap and water on toys made of materials like jelly, latex, cloth, or rubber — they can become porous and absorb bacteria over time.

Lastly, the deep cleaning process should be done on a regular basis. Any time you use a sex toy, thoroughly cleaning it is very important.

For non-porous sex toys, it’s important to remove all lubes, oils, and dirt to ensure that your toy will have a longer life.
