Cleaning a dildo is a key step to ensure its hygiene and extend its life. Proper cleaning methods can help prevent bacterial growth and discomfort. Here are some practical guidelines for cleaning dildos:
1. Clean immediately
• After using the dildo, clean it as soon as possible to prevent lubricants, body fluids and other residues from drying up and reducing the chance of bacterial growth.
2. Disconnect the power supply before cleaning
If the dildo is electric (such as a vibrating model), make sure to turn off the power or unplug the charging cable before use to avoid battery damage.
3. Choose the right detergent
Use a mild, non-irritating soap or a special sex toy cleaner. Avoid using detergents containing alcohol, fragrances or overly strong chemicals, which may damage the material or irritate the skin.
• Water-based detergents are most recommended, especially for silicone dildos.
4. Cleaning steps
• Warm water rinse: Rinse the dildo with warm water (avoid overheated water) to remove surface impurities.
• Use soap: Apply an appropriate amount of mild soap or special detergent and gently scrub the surface of the dildo, especially the parts that touch the skin.
• Brush: If there are fine cracks or textures on the surface of the dildo, you can use a soft brush (such as a toothbrush) to gently scrub it to ensure that every corner is thoroughly cleaned.
5. Pay attention to the battery and charging port
• Avoid cleaning the charging port: If the dildo has a charging port, avoid letting water flow into the charging port, and you can gently wipe it with a damp cloth to clean it.
• For waterproof dildos, you can soak them for a full cleaning, but if they are not waterproof, avoid letting water flow into the interior.
6. Rinse thoroughly
• Make sure to thoroughly rinse off all detergents when washing to prevent residual chemicals from irritating the skin.
7. Dry
• After washing, gently pat the dildo dry, especially where there are seams or deep textures, you can gently wipe it dry with a clean towel or paper towel.
• Place it in a well-ventilated place to dry naturally, avoid using high temperature to prevent damage to the material.
8. Storage and maintenance
•Storage: After cleaning, store the dildo in a dry, cool place, avoid exposure to direct sunlight or high temperature.
•Use a special storage bag (such as a flannel bag) to avoid dust accumulation and keep the dildo clean.
9. Regular disinfection
•If you want a deeper level of hygiene protection, you can use a sex toy special disinfection spray or boiling disinfection (suitable for high temperature resistant materials such as silicone). However, please make sure to use the disinfection method only on the appropriate material and read the instructions carefully.
