Keeping adult toys squeaky-clean isn’t just about aesthetics—it’s about protecting your body from yeast infections, UTIs, and skin irritation while helping your favorite vibrators, dildos, and sleeves last for years. Below you’ll find an easy, materials-specific routine, peppered with pro tips straight from sexual-health experts and supported by science.
Why a Post-Play Scrub Matters
Even if you’re the toy’s only user, bodily fluids and lube can let bacteria flourish within a matter of hours. A quick wash after every session (and before play if the toy’s been sitting awhile) dramatically cuts your risk of infections and keeps high-end silicone feeling velvety instead of sticky.
Quick-Start Cleaning Checklist
Rinse immediately with warm water to remove surface fluids.
Wash with fragrance-free hand soap or a purpose-made sex toy cleaner.
Dry completely, then store in a lint-free pouch away from direct sunlight.
Material Spotlights
1. Silicone Dildos
Wondering how to clean a silicone dildo without ruining that silky finish? Follow these steps:
Pre-Rinse: Run warm water over every curve.
Suds Up: Use unscented soap or spritz with a foaming toy cleaner such as Wicked Foam ’n Fresh; scrub for 20 seconds.
Deep-Clean: Submerge non-motorized silicone in boiling water for 3 minutes or place it on the top rack of a dishwasher (no detergent).
Dry & Store: Pat dry, then air-dry fully before tucking it away.
2. Pocket Pussies & Masturbator Sleeves
Here’s how to clean a pocket pussy the safe way:
Remove the sleeve from its case.
Rinse with warm water.
Disinfect with a few pumps of antibacterial toy cleaner or 70 % isopropyl alcohol.
Air-dry completely; trapped moisture breeds mold.
Optional: Dust with cornstarch to restore that "like-new" feel.
3. Motorized Vibrators & Other Electronics
Unplug or remove batteries first.
Wipe the body with a damp, soapy cloth; avoid soaking charging ports.
Finish with a spray of Wicked Cleene Antibacterial Toy Cleaner for a touch-free rinse.
Dry with a lint-free towel and let sit out for 10 minutes before storing.
Keep It Clean, Keep It Spicy ????
A 60-second rinse-and-repeat routine is a small price for years of safe, sensational play. Stock up on a gentle toy cleaner, give your vibrators the TLC they deserve, and enjoy every buzz knowing you’ve mastered the art of maintenance.
