Quick answer

Wash silicone toys with warm water and mild soap, or use a dedicated sex toy cleaner. Avoid boiling or soaking toys with motors. Always dry completely before storing in a clean, dry place.

Why material matters for cleaning

Silicone, ABS plastic, glass, and metal are non-porous and can handle soap-and-water cleaning. Porous materials like TPE or jelly require extra care and should never be shared. Always check the product label or packaging for cleaning instructions before you start.

Choosing the right cleaner

Mild, fragrance-free soap works for most toys. For a no-rinse option, a dedicated sex toy cleaner like the Honey Play Box Toy Cleaner Spray is formulated to be safe on silicone and other common materials. Avoid alcohol, bleach, or harsh detergents—they can break down the surface over time.

Step-by-step cleaning routine

  1. 1. Rinse with warm water: Hold the toy under running warm (not hot) water to remove surface debris. For toys with motors, avoid submerging the handle or battery compartment unless the toy is fully waterproof. Checkpoint: If the toy has a seam or charging port, keep it above the water line.
  2. 2. Apply cleaner and scrub gently: Use a small amount of mild soap or a toy-specific cleaner. Rub the entire surface with your fingers or a soft cloth. For textured toys, pay extra attention to grooves and ridges. Common mistake: Using a scrub brush or abrasive sponge can create micro-scratches that trap bacteria.
  3. 3. Rinse thoroughly: Rinse off all soap or cleaner residue under warm water. Leftover residue can cause irritation during next use. Checkpoint: Run a finger over the toy to feel for any slippery spots.
  4. 4. Pat dry with a lint-free cloth: Gently pat the toy dry with a clean, lint-free cloth or paper towel. Avoid using fabric softener-dried towels that can leave fibers on silicone. Next step: Let the toy air-dry completely on a clean surface before storing.
  5. 5. Store in a clean, dry place: Place the toy in a storage bag, box, or drawer away from direct sunlight and other toys. Silicone toys should not touch each other without a barrier, as they can react and degrade over time. Final verdict: Proper storage is just as important as cleaning for long-term toy maintenance.
