Toy Cleaners

Toy cleaners are specifically formulated to kill bacteria and remove residues from sex toys without damaging their materials. Regular soap and water can work, but toy cleaners contain antimicrobial ingredients to ensure thorough cleaning. They help keep toys hygienic, reducing the risk of infections or transfers between partners. After use, a quick spray or wash with toy cleaner keeps the toy safe for next time. Some cleaners also help sanitize condoms and other accessories.

For non-porous materials (silicone, glass, steel), wash with soap and water or toy cleaner, then rinse well. Some glass or metal toys can even be boiled or put in the dishwasher (top rack, no detergent). For porous materials (jelly, TPE), be more careful: use toy cleaner and dry immediately because bacteria can linger. Always rinse off any cleaning solution thoroughly. Let the toy air dry.

No. Household cleaners often contain harsh chemicals that can irritate skin or degrade toy materials. Avoid bleach, alcohol, ammonia, or scented cleaners. Stick to soap, warm water, or products labeled "toy cleaner" (gentle and body-safe). If you're in a pinch, a gentle unscented soap works on non-porous toys.
