When it comes to pleasure, adult toys are a fun way to spend time alone or with a partner and explore your body in new ways. To keep your playtime safe and hygienic, it’s important to clean your toys properly after each use. A good cleaning routine for your toys involves determining what they’re made of, using the right cleaning products, and being consistent in your cleaning efforts.

Start with the Basics

The easiest way to determine the best cleaning method for a particular toy is to read the manufacturer’s instructions. If you can’t find them, you can probably find the care guide for your toy online, and it will inform you on the brand’s specific cleaning and maintenance suggestions. Look for information on the material from which you toy is made. This piece of information is essential to learning the correct way to clean it, and cleaning it the right way will keep the toy – and you – free of germs and infection. There are two general types of materials: porous and non-porous.

Cleaning Non-Porous Materials

If your toy is made of stainless steel, glass, silicone, hard plastic, or acrylic, it is non-porous. That means it’s unlikely that bacteria will get trapped in your toy (although you still need to pay close attention to cracks or ridges). A gentle wash with soap and water is sufficient for most non-porous toys. You can also use a specially formulated sex toy cleaner such as We-Vibe Clean.

Cleaning Porous Materials

If your toy is non-porous, cleaning is simple. Remove the batteries and wipe the toy down with a cleaner and a damp cloth. For porous toys, you may scrub more vigorously or even boil to sanitise if the toy is non-motorised. Clean these materials as thoroughly as you can without using excess cleaner, which could damage the material. When your toy is clean, be sure it is completely dry before storing it in a cool, dry place.
