How to Clean Your Silicone Sex Toys: A Simple Guide for Safe, Long-Lasting Pleasure

Keeping your silicone sex toys clean isn’t just about hygiene — it also extends the life of your toy and ensures every experience is safe and enjoyable. Here’s a step-by-step guide to cleaning your toys effectively and maintaining them for long-term use.

Why Cleaning Your Silicone Toys Matters

Sex toys come into contact with sensitive areas of the body, which means bacteria can build up if they aren’t cleaned properly. Neglecting this can lead to:

• Shortened toy lifespan

• Unpleasant odours or sticky residue

• Increased risk of infections or irritation

Think of it like this: you wouldn’t eat off a dirty plate, so don’t skip cleaning your toys.

How to Clean Silicone Sex Toys: Best Practices

1. Clean Before and After Every Use
   Always wash your toy both before and after use to prevent bacteria and maintain hygiene.

2. Avoid Oil-Based Soaps or Products
   Oils can degrade silicone over time. Stick to water-based, pH-neutral soaps or dedicated toy cleaners.

3. Use Water and Soap or Toy Cleaner
   That’s The Spot toys are water-resistant or waterproof. Warm water and a mild soap or dedicated toy cleaning foam are enough for routine cleaning.

4. Try a Dedicated Toy Cleaning Foam
   Products like The Sidekick Cleaning Foam make cleaning effortless. Pump, massage, rinse, and you’re done. They remove fluids and grime while being gentle on silicone.

5. Dry Thoroughly
   Use a lint-free cloth to dry your toy completely before storing it.

6. Store Properly
   Keep your toys in breathable cotton pouches (included with most That’s The Spot toys) to prevent dust, lint, and contamination.

Step-by-Step Cleaning with Toy Cleaner

1. Apply at least 2 pumps of The Sidekick foam onto your toy.

   

2. Massage the foam over the entire surface for 10 seconds.

   

3. Rinse with lukewarm water (never hot).

4. Dry with a lint-free cloth.

5. Store in your toy’s cloth bag or enjoy immediately.

   

6. Pro Tip For All Sex Toys: Always check your toy’s instructions — some are waterproof, some are water-resistant, and some are splash-proof. Adjust cleaning accordingly.
