Proper cleaning and storage of dildos can prevent irritation caused by bacterial mooring that can occur during dildo use. It will also extend the life of the dildo and make it last longer.

However, not all dildos can be washed in the same way. In fact, there are some dildos that can be washed and some that cannot, as follows.

Washable dildos

Dildos that are not powered by electricity

Dildos that are not washable (need to be washed carefully)

Battery-powered dildos
Battery-powered dildo vibrators

The easiest way to tell the difference between washable and non-washable dildos is whether or not they move.

If it has a vibration function or moves in some way, it means that electricity is used, so washing it entirely may cause it to malfunction.

It’s a good idea to wash these types of dildos (non-waterproof types) so that the parts that are energized (such as the battery cover or the charging port) don’t get wet.

How to clean a dildo

Let’s check out how to clean a dildo.

Dr.sextoy

Before we get into the specific cleaning procedure, here are some things you might want to have when cleaning your dildo.

I want to see the specific steps right now! If you want to see the specific procedure right now, please click here to see the specific dildo cleaning procedure.

What to prepare

Here are the must-have items you need to wash your dildo.

Detergent that does not contain surfactants
Towel

These two items will be enough to clean the dildo, but you might also need

kitchen paper
Cleaner for dildos
Sanitizing products
Non-woven cloth

It is also helpful to have some other items listed above.

STI Girl

Seems like I can get away with what I normally have around here at home!

Basically, you can use hand soap or body soap as long as it does not contain surfactants. However, if you have a special cleaner for dildos, it is better to prepare it because it is more gentle on dildos.

Dr.sextoy

It is best not to use dishwashing detergent as it contains surfactants.

Sterilizing products are used to finish cleaning dildos, and non-woven cloths are used to store dildos. These are also not a must, but it is a good idea to have them ready if you have them.

Specific dildo washing instructions

Dr.sextoy

The dildo will be cleaned in the following order.

STEP.1

Rinse the entire dildo with warm water

The first step is to wash off the remains from the dildo with warm water. At this time, the temperature of the water should be about 38 degrees Celsius, not too hot to the touch.

For non-waterproof dildos that are powered by electricity, be careful not to get the part where the electricity is supplied (where the battery is inserted) wet.

Be sure to remove the battery.

STEP.2

Wash the whole thing with detergent

Next, wash the dildo itself evenly with detergent. Wash it carefully with your fingers. It is better not to use a brush, as it will damage the dildo.

STEP.3

Rinse off the detergent with lukewarm water

Carefully rinse off the detergent, being careful not to leave any residue.
At this time, wash the dildo gently with your fingers so as not to damage it with your fingernails.

STEP.4

Carefully wipe off the water from the dildo

Wipe off any moisture on the dildo with a lint-free towel or kitchen paper. Leaving the dildo wet can cause mold and bacteria to grow.

STEP.5

Let it dry

After wiping off the water, let it dry. Place it in a well-ventilated place out of direct sunlight, or use the cool air of a hair dryer to dry it. (Be careful not to use warm air for a long time, as it may cause damage to the dildo.)

STEP.6

Wrap the dildo in non-woven cloth, plastic wrap, or vinyl and store it.

When you have finished cleaning the dildo, do not leave it as it is, but wrap it in a non-woven cloth, plastic wrap, or vinyl and store it.

The dildo I used in this cleaning procedure is the XXX Indian Dick Man 6, which is the top selling dildo in SexToysINDIA! Highly recommended as it is the perfect size for beginners and pros alike.

It is very durable and can be used more than 50 times with proper care. It is a very cost-effective dildo.

Cautions for cleaning silicone and TPE dildos

Dildos are usually made of silicone or TPE, and are used in many sex toys because of their realistic feel. However, this type of dildo has some restrictions on how it can be cleaned.

Dr.sextoy

The appeal of silicone and TPE dildos is that they feel more like the real thing, but if you accidentally clean them in the wrong way, it can make the dildos you’ve purchased unusable.

The following are five points to keep in mind when cleaning silicone and TPE dildos.

Do not use a brush
Do not use boiling water
Do not use detergents with surfactants
Be careful of non-waterproof types
Dry thoroughly

Let’s check each of these reasons in detail. Another option is to use metal or glass dildos if you are concerned about these restrictions.

Don’t use brushes

Brushes can damage dildos made of soft materials such as silicone or elastomer, so it is recommended not to use them.
If the dildo is scratched, moisture and bacteria can enter the dildo and cause it to deteriorate.

For this reason, it is recommended that you do not use brushes with hard bristles, such as brushes and scrubbers. Wash with your fingers or a soft cloth such as gauze!

Do not use boiling water

Boiling water should also not be used when cleaning dildos. It is tempting to use boiling water for sterilization purposes. However, silicone and elastomers are heat-soluble and will melt if the dildo is washed in boiling water.

However, when it comes to the strength of disinfection, boiling is certainly the strongest.

Dr.sextoy

Dr If you are concerned about hygiene and really want to use boiling water to disinfect, we recommend using metal or glass dildos.

Do not use detergents with surfactants

Dr.sextoy

Surfactants are simply ingredients in dishwashing detergents that make it easier for water and oil to mix.

The reason why detergents containing surfactants should not be used to clean dildos is that the main ingredient in silicone and TPE is oil.

As I said, surfactants are ingredients that improve the mixing of oil and water, but oil and water do not mix.

However, by using detergents with surfactants, the oil from the dildo and the water from the cleaning process will combine and gradually dissolve.

The amount that dissolves in one wash is very small, but the change becomes larger with repeated washes.

This is why it is necessary to use a detergent that does not contain surfactants when using silicone or TPE dildos.

Beware of non-waterproof types

As I mentioned a little earlier, you should also be careful with non-waterproof dildos. Specifically, dildos with built-in batteries or those that are rechargeable. These dildos can be used for daily life waterproofing (sweat level), but most of them are not completely waterproof so you can wash them all the time.

Dr.sextoy

When you buy a dildo, you can often find information about whether it is waterproof or not on the package, so please check there. If it is a SexToysINDIA product, you can find out whether it is waterproof or not on the product details page.

For non-waterproof dildos, it is possible to wash only the dildo part as described in the previous step. Be careful not to get the metal part that holds the battery wet at this time. It may cause rust.

Dry it thoroughly

After cleaning, dry the dildo thoroughly. The drying process is simple. Simply wipe off any moisture on the dildo with a towel or kitchen paper, and leave it in a well-ventilated place.

Leaving dildos unattended without drying them thoroughly after cleaning can lead to mold growth, which is very unsanitary. It is important to make sure that this drying process is done properly.

Dr.sextoy

If you’re going to use a hair dryer because it’s too much trouble to dry it, it’s best to use cold air and let the air blow over the dildo!

Why do I have to clean my dildo?

As I mentioned at the beginning of this article, there are two main problems that occur when dildos are not cleaned.

Inflammation due to bacterial growth
The life of the dildo itself will be shortened

If the dildo is not properly cleaned after use, bacteria will grow on the dildo from the vaginal secretions and other bodily fluids that remain on the dildo, as well as from the lotion. If the dildo is used again, the bacteria may enter through the minute scratches on the vagina or anus and cause inflammation.

Also, if you don’t properly care for your dildo, it will shorten the life of the dildo that you could have originally used.

Leaving the dirt in place can cause mold to grow and make it unusable. (Once mold has grown on a dildo, it can take deep root in the dildo itself, making it difficult to remove from the root.)

Dr.sextoy

Don’t forget to take proper care of your dildo so that you can use it for as long as possible.

When you just can’t clean the dildo

STI Girl

But…there are times when I’m just too tired to clean the dildo.

STI Girl

I tried to clean the dildo after use, but my family was using the sink and I couldn’t do it.

In such cases, it is best to use a condom to reduce the amount of residue that sticks to the dildo. If you have any questions, please feel free to contact me.

Choosing a dildo that is easy to clean is also effective

Dr.sextoy

If you’re looking for a condom that’s easy to clean, you may want to consider using a dildo that’s also easy to clean.

There are two specific types of dildos that are easy to clean: glass dildos and metal dildos. They have a smooth surface so that dirt can be washed off quickly and easily. They can be cleaned in a much shorter time than dildos made of silicone or TPE.

Also, if you wipe it off carefully, there is no need to dry it separately.

How to store dildos to make them last longer

Be aware that dildos made of silicone or TPE may adhere to other dildos made of similar materials if they are stored together.

Also, dildos are very susceptible to high temperatures and humidity, so it is recommended to store them in a well-ventilated place and out of direct sunlight.

To be more specific, wrap a non-woven cloth (or plastic wrap) around the dildo after it has been washed and dried properly, and store it in a well-ventilated shady place. Avoid places where there is moisture.

If you store the dildo in the right way, it may last for more than two years, depending on how often you use it.

Dr.sextoy

However, in reality, it may be difficult to find a shady spot with good ventilation at home.

In that case, please check out the following 3 recommended dildo storage places for Indians!

3 recommended dildo storage places for Indians

STI Girl

I’ve cleaned my dildo carefully, but I don’t know where to store it! Where’s a shady spot with good ventilation!

Although dildos are one of the smallest sex toys, they have a strong presence. This is why many people have trouble finding a place to hide their dildos. That’s why SexToysINDIA recommends the best places to hide dildos!

Dr.sextoy

SexToysINDIA confidently recommends the following three places to hide dildos that you will never find!

In a cosmetic pouch
In a stuffed animal
In a carrying case

The point is “where even family members can’t open it“. People in India have strong family ties, and in many cases, not only parents but also grandparents and cousins live together.

Under such circumstances, it may be quite difficult to find a place where you cannot be touched by your family at all.

However, the three places mentioned above are places that even the closest family members would not dare to open unless there is something wrong with them.

As for the inside of a stuffed animal, you can pull out a bit of cotton from a stuffed animal that is large enough to hold a dildo and put it inside.

If you make a cut in the back and point it forward, no one will think that the dildo is hidden inside the stuffed animal.

To prevent cotton from sticking to the dildo, wrap it in a non-woven cloth, plastic wrap, or bag after it has been cleaned and dried thoroughly before storing it inside the stuffed animal.

On the other hand, you need to be careful under the bed or in the wardrobe, as they are relatively easy to get exposed (often by family members cleaning them).

If you really can’t get used to cleaning your dildo, you can use a wet wipe with a sanitizing agent to quickly wipe it off. You can also use a condom when you use a dildo to make cleaning easier.

Also, when cleaning silicone or TPE dildos, be careful not to use hot water, detergents with surfactants, direct sunlight, or high temperature and humidity.

If you are too lazy to take care of these items when cleaning, you can choose a dildo made of metal or glass.

Properly caring for your dildo can prevent infections and prolong the life of the dildo. Since you have purchased a dildo that you like, you should take care of it properly and use it for as long as possible.
