How important is it to clean your sex toys?
Cleaning your sex toys is necessary, not just for hygiene reasons but to help keep your toys in tip top shape. When you know how & what to use, its easy!
Proper cleaning and storage makes the difference to your toys lasting (or not) so here’s a quick guide to help you take care of your collection.
How often should you clean your sex toys?
Toys should be cleaned before and after you use them to ensure optimum hygiene. All you need is warm water, a sex toy cleaner & kitchen paper.
To clean toys, give them a quick rinse (never disperse in water, especially battery powered toys or electrical components). Next, spray them with a toy cleaner and leave for 60 seconds, clean any stubborn areas carefully before rinsing with warm water.
You can leave your toys to air dry on sheets of clean kitchen paper. Make sure your toys are completely dry & clean before storing them away. Preferably store them in their original box or pouch where they can safely lay to rest until the next time you use them. If they don’t come with their own pouch or box you can use socks, envelopes or cardboard boxes, either way, be sure to store them separately so that none of the materials mix & touch.
By taking special care of your toys, you will prevent bacteria building up (which can lead to yucky infections) and you’ll keep them looking as good as new.
What should you do?
- You should always clean your toys before and after use
- Remove any batteries and close the battery compartments tightly before cleaning
- Use a sex toy cleaner
- Leave your sex toys to air dry thoroughly on kitchen paper
