Quick answer
To keep your Medium Cortez in great shape, wash it with mild soap and warm water before and after each use, let it dry completely, and store it in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and other toys.
Why proper care matters for your Medium Cortez
The Medium Cortez is made from high-quality silicone, which is non-porous and body-safe. However, like any silicone toy, it can attract dust, lint, and bacteria if not cleaned and stored properly. Regular maintenance not only keeps it hygienic but also preserves its surface texture and firmness.
Medium firmness is a popular choice because it offers a balance between flexibility and pressure. But this firmness also means the toy can be more susceptible to nicks or tears if handled roughly. Gentle cleaning and careful storage help maintain its integrity over time.
Because inventory toys like the Medium Cortez are made in small batches, each one is unique. Taking a few extra minutes to care for yours ensures it stays in the best possible condition for many uses.
What to avoid when cleaning silicone toys
Not all cleaning methods are safe for silicone. Avoid using silicone-based lubricants or cleaners, as they can break down the material over time. Also, steer clear of boiling or dishwashers unless you're certain the toy is 100% silicone with no added parts—our Medium Cortez is pure silicone, but boiling can still cause damage if done too frequently.
Stay away from harsh chemicals like bleach or alcohol, which can degrade the silicone's surface. Stick to mild, unscented soap and warm water for the best results.
Step-by-step care routine for your Medium Cortez
- Rinse with warm water: Before and after each use, rinse the toy under warm running water to remove any surface debris or lubricant. Avoid hot water, as it can be uncomfortable and may affect the silicone over time. Use warm, not hot, water to protect the silicone.
- Wash with mild soap: Apply a small amount of mild, unscented soap to your hands or a soft cloth, then gently wash the entire surface of the toy. Pay extra attention to any textured areas or ridges where residue can hide. Rinse thoroughly until all soap is gone. Unscented soap prevents irritation and residue buildup.
- Dry completely: Pat the toy dry with a clean, lint-free towel or let it air-dry on a clean surface. Make sure it's completely dry before storing to prevent mold or mildew from developing. Never store a damp toy—moisture can cause damage.
- Store in a cool, dry place: Place the toy in a storage bag or a dedicated container, away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures. Keep it separate from other toys to avoid friction or pressure that could cause dents or deformities. Individual storage prevents unwanted contact with other items.
