How to Clean and Care for Intimate Products

Looking after your intimacy products is an important part of maintaining good hygiene and helping them last for years to come. Fortunately, cleaning most products is quick and straightforward when you follow the manufacturer's instructions.

Whether you've purchased your first product or have a growing collection, a few simple habits can help keep everything in excellent condition.

Why Cleaning Matters

Cleaning your products before and after each use helps remove residue and supports good hygiene.

Regular care can also help preserve the material, maintain performance and extend the life of your products.

Check the Manufacturer's Instructions

Every product is different.

Before cleaning, always check the care instructions provided by the manufacturer, particularly if your product is rechargeable, waterproof or made from a specialised material.

Following these recommendations is the best way to protect your purchase.

Choosing the Right Cleaner

Many people choose a purpose-made toy cleaner because it's specifically designed for intimacy products.

Depending on the product and manufacturer, warm water and a mild, fragrance-free soap may also be suitable.

Avoid using harsh household cleaning products, bleach or abrasive cleaners unless specifically recommended by the manufacturer.

Cleaning Different Materials

Silicone

Body-safe silicone is generally easy to clean using a suitable toy cleaner or warm water with mild soap where appropriate.

ABS Plastic

ABS plastic has a smooth surface that makes cleaning simple and straightforward.

Glass

Tempered glass products can usually be cleaned easily thanks to their non-porous surface. Always handle glass products carefully during cleaning.

Stainless Steel

Stainless steel products are durable and easy to maintain with appropriate cleaning methods.

Dry Before Storing

Once cleaned, allow your product to dry completely before placing it into storage.

Storing products while they're still damp may affect their condition over time.

A clean, lint-free towel is ideal for drying most products.

Store Products Properly

Proper storage is just as important as cleaning.

Consider storing products:

• In their original storage bag or box
• In a clean, dry location
• Away from direct sunlight
• Separately from other products where appropriate

Good storage helps keep products clean and protects their finish.

Rechargeable Products

If your product is rechargeable:

• Charge it using the supplied cable.
• Avoid storing it with a completely flat battery for extended periods.
• Follow the manufacturer's charging recommendations.

Looking after the battery can help maximise the product's lifespan.

Final Thoughts

Keeping your intimacy products clean doesn't need to be complicated. With regular cleaning, proper drying and careful storage, you can help maintain hygiene, protect the materials and enjoy your products with confidence for years to come.
