How to clean your BDSM Equipment

Be dirty yet safe. Once playtime's over, make sure you clean up your BDSM gear. Properly cleaning and storing your sex toys will save you and your partner from infections. Here's how you can clean your BDSM equipment based on their materials.

 

For non-electrical toys made from rubber, silicone, glass, vinyl, metal, and plastic:

·       Submerge the toy in warm water with a mild anti-bacterial soap.

·       Using your hand or a soft brush, gently scrub the surface. Don't forget to check the nooks and the crannies. Note: For silicone or jelly-rubber toys, be extra careful. Cleaning it too much may damage the toy or leave it with unwanted scratches and cracks.

·       Dry the toy through air or sunlight once it's all dried up. Put the toy in a clean/dust-free pouch before storing it away.

For toys made with leather:

·       Wipe the toy's surface with a damp cloth that has an anti-bacterial soap and water in it. Don't expose to water and soap for long periods as the toy may end discolored and cracked up.

·       Air-dry the leather toys before storing them. You can dry it through sunlight but don't overdo it.

·       Once it's all dried up, put the toy in a clean/dust-free pouch before storing it away.

For electrical toys

·       Once the toy is unplugged/turned off, wash its surface with a damped cloth (containing water and a few squeezes of an anti-bacterial soap). Note: Never submerge your electrical toys in the water!

·       Let it air dry, then store it in a clean pouch before putting it somewhere.

For BDSM Toys made with metal:

·       Wash it in warm soapy water. Gently scrub the dirt off.

·       After washing, you can soak it in alcohol for a few minutes to disinfect it.

·       Once it's all dried up, put the toy in a clean/dust-free pouch before storing it away
