Quick Answer

For most Nexus toys, a dedicated sex toy cleaner like Nexus Wash is the safest and most convenient option, but plain soap and water can work in a pinch. The key is knowing what your toy is made of and which cleaners are safe for it.

Why a Dedicated Cleaner Matters

Regular soaps often contain fragrances, dyes, and harsh chemicals that can irritate sensitive skin or degrade toy materials over time. A dedicated sex toy cleaner is formulated to be gentle on both your skin and your toys.

Nexus Wash is fragrance-free and uses natural antibacterial ingredients, making it suitable for sensitive skin. This reduces the risk of irritation and helps maintain the integrity of your toy's surface.

When Soap and Water Might Be Enough

If you don't have a dedicated cleaner on hand, mild, unscented soap and warm water can effectively remove most residues from non-porous materials like silicone. However, avoid soaps with added moisturizers, perfumes, or antibacterial agents that may not be toy-safe.

The trade-off is that soap and water may not be as effective at neutralizing all bacteria, and it can be less convenient when you're not near a sink. A spray cleaner like Nexus Wash lets you clean your toy quickly anywhere.
