Soap and Water
The most common way to clean sex toys is with soap and water, although there are a few things you should know first about your toy.
You should know if your toy is porous or non-porous. Porous means bacteria can still get trapped inside after you clean it. Luckily, the most popular and highly recommended toys these days are non-porous. An example of a non-porous toy is silicone or glass.
So how do you clean silicone sex toys? Mild soap and warm water is the most recommended way to clean your non-porous sex toys. Mild unscented soap will sanitize your toy the same way it sanitizes your hands. It is also best to use hot or warm water for germ-killing properties.
You can also boil your sex toy but, be sure to check the product label or instructions as toys with batteries should never be boiled.
Cleaning Spray
Another popular way of cleaning sex toys is using a toy cleaner. If you decide to use the ease of a toy cleaner, be sure it is water-based rather than silicone-based. Since many sex toys are silicone, a silicone-based spray will eventually start to erode the silicone.
The water-based spray is not only safe but effective. You can also get toy spray that is hypoallergenic, and free of parabens and sulfates. It is important to consider what you are cleaning your toy with as it will end up back in your body.
So while getting your friend bachelorette toys, consider throwing in a toy spray as well!
Storage
One of the most important tips for how to keep your toys lasting long and staying clean is storage. After you properly clean your toys, be sure to wipe them down with a clean cloth or towel and let them air dry a bit if need be.
Storing your sex toys in a cloth bag or a clean towel is recommended so it doesn’t accumulate germs and bacteria in-between uses. This is why you should also clean your toy before and after use.
