Quick Answer
Clean your Nellen's Klaspers silicone toy before first use and after every session with warm water and mild soap or a dedicated toy cleaner. Dry it completely and store in a cool, dry place away from other toys.
Why Proper Care Matters for Soft Silicone
Nellen's Klaspers toys are made from body-safe silicone, and the Soft (0030) firmness is especially sensitive to damage from improper cleaning or storage. Harsh chemicals or abrasive scrubbing can degrade the surface, and storing it with other silicone toys can cause material transfer or deformation. Following a consistent care routine preserves the texture and extends the life of your toy.
What to Avoid
Never use silicone-based lubricants with your Nellen's Klaspers, as they can break down the silicone over time. Avoid boiling or dishwasher cleaning for soft silicone unless the manufacturer explicitly states it's safe. Also, keep the toy away from direct sunlight or heat sources, which can cause warping or discoloration.
Step-by-Step Cleaning Guide
- 1. Rinse with Warm Water: Rinse the toy under warm running water to remove any dust or debris. Avoid hot water, which can damage soft silicone over time.
- 2. Apply Mild Soap or Toy Cleaner: Use a small amount of fragrance-free, mild liquid soap or a dedicated toy cleaner. Gently lather the entire surface with your hands or a soft cloth. Avoid antibacterial soaps with triclosan, as they can be harsh on silicone.
- 3. Rinse Thoroughly: Rinse all soap residue off completely. Leftover soap can cause irritation during next use.
- 4. Dry with a Lint-Free Cloth: Pat the toy dry with a clean, lint-free cloth or let it air dry on a clean towel. Ensure no moisture remains, especially in crevices. Do not use paper towels, which can leave lint and scratch the silicone surface.
- 5. Store Properly: Place the dry toy in a cool, dark place, ideally in a fabric pouch or separate compartment. Avoid contact with other silicone toys to prevent material transfer. Soft silicone can pick up lint and dust easily, so a dedicated storage bag is recommended.
