Desiree's Desires, Inc.All You Need to know about Sex Toy Cleaning
We are constantly being asked by customers what the best sex toy cleaning practices are in order to maintain the quality of the toy and health of the user. What we always tell people is most often than not SOAP & WATER is your best friend! Using a mild antibacterial soap with warm water is ideal for almost all toy materials and types. If you are dealing with a porous material – like soft jelly (rubber) – then you really should use a sex toy cleaner and always wash before and after use. You can even use a non-lubricated condom with those toys to reduce the risk of bacteria buildup. Bacteria can linger in any porous sex toy, so we recommend you skip them entirely. Choosing sex toys that are made of non-porous material, such as silicone, glass, stainless steel, or ABS plastic are really the best way to go.
Soap & Water
Use mild antibacterial soap and warm water to clean most of your pleasure objects. You don’t need to purchase fancy sex toy cleaner unless you absolutely want to. Make sure you wash the sex toy thoroughly to avoid soap scum build up. You don’t want that anywhere near or inside your naughty parts. With most sex toys it is best to air dry them – if at all possible (even on the top shelf of a closet) – so there is no paper towel lint attaching to your sex toy or excess moisture. If you have a motorized sex toy, please make sure it is 100% waterproof before submersion for cleaning. You will ruin any motor that is not waterproof protected.
Boiling or Dishwasher
If your sex toy does NOT have a motor, you may be able to clean it with more than soap and water. A silicone, glass, or stainless steel non-porous sex toy can be boiled for 5 minutes for good sex toy cleaning maintenance and many can be thrown in the dishwasher. Always refer to your product manual for proper cleaning and maintenance.
Quick tip: line your pot with a cloth to protect your toy from hitting the bottom and sides.

Whatever you do, please take proper care and clean your sex toys, especially if you are using toys that are made of porous, bacteria harboring material. Sex toy cleaning is hygienic. You are using these toys inside your body, so please take the proper precautions to sanitize them and store them appropriately. A sex toy can last a very long time with proper care!
