HOW TO CLEAN A DILDO? STEP BY STEP

Do you have a dildo? Is it cleaned every time you use it? Many people maybe clean them for the first time, but it may not still become the routine for everyone anymore. This usual practice may bring you many problems and even pain. But all of these unpleasant experiences won’t happen to you if you clean your dildo frequently, I mean, at least after and before the use of it. Guess how imperfect if you have already had a realistic dildo but you don’t know the methods of cleaning it! Therefore, let’s get started to know something important about it.

WHAT IS YOUR DILDO MADE OUT OF?

What you need to know is not the external forms of your dildo. For example, metal, silicone, and glass. The key part is you must ensure the materials of your dildo are not porous. Therefore, the materials are generally classified into porous and non-porous.

The first kind is porous materials. These materials are pernicious for you because they have room for living bacteria, fungi, and more. These holes cannot be seen by our naked eyes. But they can be seen under the microscope. These things should not appear near our human genitals. By the way, the methods of thorough cleaning are almost impossible, because they cannot be cleaned in high temperatures or they will break down.

Besides, some of them even contain toxic compounds, such as phthalates, which have been linked to cancer and can do major harm to your body.

Some of the porous materials include: TPE/TPR, PVC, Jelly, Rubber, Latex, Silicone ‘blends’ (i.e. materials that aren’t 100% silicone).

So how about non-porous materials? They are healthy. Such as glass, silicone, stainless steel, and wood. These materials won’t give you any unexpected bad influence as long as you appropriately use them. Therefore, you can just put these keywords in the search field so that you can get the right dildo made of healthy materials.

HOW TO CLEAN A DILDO?

There are many ways to clean your dildo, then let’s explore together.

CAN YOU WASH SEX TOYS WITH SOAP AND WATER?

water washing

Luckily for most of us, it is easy to get the tools that exist in your bathroom. The basic tools are soap and water that you use in your usual life.

The steps are as follows:

First, you need to find a mild soap without any strange taste, and then you can start applying it to your penis. When you encounter a special shape of the artificial penis, for example, toys with curves, textures, grooves, and special cracks, you need to pay more attention and clean your toys more carefully. After the foam slowly appears, you can rinse the toys with water and finally wipe them with a towel!

Attention:

You should avoid those soups that have a special smell, for example, lavender, lemon, grape, or rose-flavored soap.

You should also avoid soup that contains moisturizers or exfoliants.

Reasons: these kinds of soup will disturb your genitals’ PH balance, which may lead to problems like bacterial or yeast infections.

Besides, vibrators and thrusting dildos cannot wash in water. You can firstly put soap on a wet cloth and clean toys with this cloth and then you can try to use another dump cloth to clean this toy. In other words, it is like a process of dry cleaning.

Next, I will introduce another method of cleaning. This method only also needs water and soap.
Firstly, its name is ‘sex toy soup’.Sounds interesting, right? It means putting your sex toys in a pot of water to clean them. This method can replace the alternative of cleaning them in the dishwasher(we will further introduce this method in the following parts).

The steps are here: firstly, you need to put your sex toys into a pot, and then fill it with water and leave the toys in this pot for about one-three minutes.

You need to put the dildo into boiling water and you must make sure that the pot is very clean. Remember to soak it in the water for about three minutes and not to put soap or other additives inside the pot.

If you are going to put a masturbator made of borosilicate or stainless steel into the pot and cook it, you must wrap it in a towel or use a mesh laundry bag to put the toy inside. This will effectively protect the pot and the toy.

This may be a good solution for sterilizing certain kinds of dildos, but you should make sure to take the same precautions and avoid boiling some materials like the dishwasher method.

If your sex toys are made of stainless steel or borosilicate glass, you can use a towel and a mesh laundry bag to pack the toys and then put them into the pot to cook, so that you can protect the toys boiled in boiling water. At the same time, it should be noted that you can refer to the list of materials applicable to dishwashers so as not to destroy some toys made of materials that are easy to boil.

WHAT ABOUT SEX TOY CLEANERS?

Another method for cleaning a dildo is to use a sex toy cleaner. These are available in a variety of forms, including sprays, gels, foams, and even wipes.

Your new dildo may come with its little packet of branded sex toy cleaners if you’re lucky, but dildos can be cleaned with any good quality sex toy cleaner.

Using one is comparable to using soap and water, the effect on toys is very efficient.
Simply apply it to your dildo, leave it on for the time specified on the packaging, and then rinse or wipe away the excess.

There is but one potential problem: will the sex toy cleaners still have an effective effect on toys’ final cleaning situation if they are not cleaned thoroughly? If you do this kind of thing, then lots of bacteria can not be cleaned thoroughly. Therefore, you’d better use water and soap to clean them up. The former method can only become the second best way to clean your sex toys.

CAN I WASH TOYS IN THE DISHWASHER? WHAT ABOUT BOILING WATER?

You can put toys in the dishwasher, but not every material can do the same. Because the heat in the dishwasher can melt a lot of materials. Especially some plastics.

Also, if you’re using a dishwasher, there are a lot of residues left over from dish soap.So, by boiling the toy directly in the boiling water, you can avoid this negative effect.

That is to say, cleaning toys in boiling water is relatively healthy. However, there are still only some of them that can be sanitized in hot water.

You can sterilize some sex toys by putting them in hot water.

According to professional sex toy experts, pure silicone, stainless steel, or Pyheat-resistant glass toys (not silicone shamers) can be sterilized in hot water for three to five minutes. You just boil the water and use the heat to sterilize, as if you had made a homemade sanitizer.

Toys that do not use this method are made of crystal, non-Pyrex, non-porous jelly, and PVC toys.

WHAT ABOUT CLEANING SEX TOYS WITH UV LIGHT?

This light is a light of destroys microscopic particles that cannot be seen by our naked eyes. It is the most effective way. Bacteria won’t survive after using this method. This kind of light won’t skip any corner on your toys, so its effect of sterilizing is very satisfying. All of the harmful things can be ‘killed’ in this way.

CAN I CLEAN SEX TOYS WITH WIPES?

Yes, certainly you can clean your sex toys with wipes. But you just need to wash them and clean them up patiently. In the end, the drying process is necessary. In this way, can you make sure that all of those wipes can become dry enough? In a nutshell, consuming time is an unavoidable part of cleaning this kind of toy.

HOW TO DRY SEX TOYS?

You must remember: that even if you sterilize them in a very meticulous way, you cannot leave your toys wet. Besides, you must use a clean towel to clean your toys so that you can let yourself on a healthy road of using sex toys. In other words, it is one of the important things concerning protecting you from infection.

HOW TO DRY POROUS MATERIALS?

You need to pay attention to this kind of material’s drying process. Because it is the heaven where bacteria like to live. If you cannot make sure that the toy is dry, then the possibility of giving bacteria a chance is very high. Therefore, it is an important process that ensures your health of using toys the next time.

HOW DO DRY NON-POROUS MATERIALS?

Bacteria, for instance, generally can’t survive for long in or on a nonporous sex toy because they thrive in damp environments. Non-porous materials are not so easy to keep the water inside. However, you’d better dry them up in case there are bacteria living on the surface of toys.

The steps of drying your toys are easy to learn. Firstly, you need to prepare a clean cloth, towel or napkin, etc. Just anything can absorb the water without other harmful substances. Secondly, use these prepared tools to dry your toys smoothly. In the end, don’t forget to put them in an airy place so that bacteria won’t survive and they will die in a few days.

HOW NOT TO CLEAN A DILDO?

There are a few notes you need to pay attention to:

Motorized toys cannot be immersed in the water, which can damage the engine and battery.

You should avoid using scented soap and harsh soap.

After washing your toys, you need to dry them up.

You shouldn’t leave the leather sex toy in the water.

HOW TO CLEAN A VIBRATING TOY WITHOUT DAMAGING THE MOTOR?

This question depends on the different types of your toys.

If your toy requires batteries, remove them and replace the battery box. Wipe with a wet soap-free towel after cleaning with a soap towel. Allow the storage box to dry while it is open by opening the back of the battery port. The grass-shaped clothes rack and the polycarbonate “branches” appeal to me. They are technically intended for baby bottles, however, they are also ideal for hanging any strange objects.
If your toy is USB battery-powered, check to see if it is a submarine. If so, you can wash it under clean water with a soap towel. If the charging toy does not have a waterproof label, clean it with a towel and avoid the charging cable.

If the toy does not include a motor that can be submerged in water (or you are unsure), please clean it with a towel while avoiding the charging station. Check to see if the toy has swappable parts that can be bleached individually, such as the ‘mouth’ of your toy.

HOW OFTEN SHOULD YOU CLEAN YOUR DILDO?

You should clean your dildo with every single use of it. I mean, this information means that you need to clean before and after you use it, No matter whether this process is masturbation or a sexual process with others. This cleaning part is concerning about your health benefits, especially if you use it both in your anal and vagina. If you skip this process, then the parts of your body may become itching and uncomfortable. Please pay more attention to it.

HOW TO STORE YOUR DILDO?

Keep your dildo dry and clean. Firstly, cleaning your toys is still the most important part of storing them. If you cannot do this the first time, then the things you do afterward will become futile. Because this action may lead to many infections in your body and damage to the machines, for example, skin itching, some bacteria-related illness, and product malfunction.

As for the storing places, no matter the bags or the boxes. All of these should have a relatively large room for storing toys and other things attached to them.

BAGS

There are many ways to store sex toys, but putting them in a bag is the most convenient and effective way. Because a bag can be filled with a variety of different shapes of toys, the bag is a very inclusive thing. And the toys in the bag are very convenient when you travel to different regions of the country you can take the toys with you, put them in your bag, the box can be.

Ordinary plastic bags are not a good choice. You should go for cotton, linen, or polyester drawstring bags. These bags are inexpensive and breathable and can inhibit the growth of bacteria. Additionally, there are storage containers made specifically for sex toys, like Sugar Sak, that have an internal coating that prevents the growth of bacteria, fungi, yeast, mold, and viruses.

BOXES

The storage of boxes is very large and these can also be locked, unlike simple bags. You can collect all sex things into this box, such as condoms, lube, chargers, etc. And remember to store these objects in separate bags in case materials may degrade.

It’s also worth noting that there are specialty toy storage boxes available! Antibacterial interior coatings, detachable or adaptable trays to accommodate toys of various shapes and sizes and USB ports for trying to charge toys when not in use are all features to look for. If you are concerned about prying eyes, choose one with a lock.

All in all, cleaning dildos is an important way to keep your play process healthy. If buying a realistic dildo is the first step, then cleaning it up is the second step.
