A Guide to Maintenance That Many Users Overlook

Investing in a quality sex toy is an act of self-care and empowerment—but too many people stop short when it comes to proper maintenance. Cleaning and storing your toys correctly isn’t just about hygiene—it’s the key to ensuring safety, preserving material integrity, and extending the life of your favorite pleasure tools.

Let’s take the mystery out of sex toy care with a clear, easy-to-follow guide covering the best practices for cleaning, storing, and protecting your investment.

🧼 Why Cleaning Matters (Every Time)

After every use, sex toys—especially those used internally—should be cleaned to prevent the buildup of bacteria, lube residue, and bodily fluids. Even external-use toys can harbor microorganisms if left dirty.

Basic Cleaning Rules:

• Clean before and after each use
• Use the right cleaner for the right material
• Dry thoroughly before storing

🧴 What to Use (and What to Avoid)

1. Mild Soap + Warm Water

Perfect for non-porous toys made of silicone, glass, stainless steel, and ABS plastic. Make sure the toy is waterproof before submerging.

2. Toy-Specific Cleaners

Products like A-One Foam Spray are specially formulated to be gentle on toy surfaces while still being effective against bacteria.

3. Boiling or Bleaching (for some toys)

• Boil silicone or stainless steel toys (without motors) for 3–5 minutes for deep cleaning.
• A 10% bleach solution (1 part bleach to 9 parts water) can disinfect non-porous toys. Rinse very well afterward.

🚫 Avoid:

• Harsh household cleaners
• Hydrogen peroxide
• Alcohol (can degrade silicone and plastic)
• Dishwashers (unless the toy’s instructions say otherwise)

🧸 Cleaning Different Materials

📦 How to Store Sex Toys Safely

Proper storage helps prevent:

• Material breakdown
• Dust or lint collection
• Cross-contamination between toys

Storage Tips:

• Dry completely before storing to prevent mold or mildew.
• Store each toy separately to avoid material reactions (especially silicone-on-silicone).
• Use breathable bags or cases—velvet, microfiber, or even satin drawstring bags are great.

Pro Tip: Avoid storing toys in plastic bags or letting them sit out in humid environments like the bathroom.

🔌 Battery & Charging Maintenance

For rechargeable toys:

• Fully charge before storing long-term to avoid battery degradation.
• Avoid overcharging—disconnect once fully charged.
• Keep cords organized and use the charger that came with your toy.

✅ Toy Maintenance = Better Pleasure

Taking the time to clean and store your toys properly means:

• Safer use every time
• Longer lifespan
• Better performance
• Fewer unpleasant surprises (like sticky surfaces or odd odors)

Think of it like skincare for your sex life—regular maintenance keeps everything smooth, safe, and satisfying.

🌟 A Clean Toy is a Happy Toy

Whether you’ve got a growing toybox or a single go-to vibrator, proper care turns your purchase into a long-term pleasure investment. With just a few minutes of cleaning and smart storage, you’re protecting your body, your budget, and your orgasms.

So go ahead—treat your toys (and yourself) with care. They’ll return the favor.
