How to Keep Your Toys Clean and Last Longer: Maintenance Tips You Need to Know

Your toys bring you pleasure — they deserve proper care in return. Maintaining good hygiene is not just about cleanliness; it’s about protecting your body, preserving your toys, and making sure every experience stays enjoyable.

Clean every time — no exceptions

After each use, wash your toy with warm water and mild, unscented soap or a dedicated toy cleaner. Rinse thoroughly and dry with a lint-free cloth. If the toy is waterproof, you can safely wash it under running water. For battery-powered or electric toys, clean only the surface area with a damp cloth.

Deep clean occasionally

For non-porous toys like glass or stainless steel, you can occasionally sanitize them by boiling (if the manufacturer allows) or using a 10% bleach solution followed by thorough rinsing. This step keeps them completely germ-free.

Store them the right way

Moisture and dust are enemies of your toys. Store them in individual silk or satin pouches, away from sunlight and extreme temperatures. Never store multiple silicone toys together — they can chemically react and damage each other.

Recharge responsibly

For rechargeable toys, don’t leave them plugged in for too long. Overcharging can shorten battery life. A quick recharge before use is all you need.

Replace when necessary

Over time, even the best toys can wear out. Watch for cracks, discoloration, or a change in texture. Replacing old toys is not a sign of waste — it’s part of safe, healthy pleasure.
