How to Clean and Care for Your Silicone Dildo

Quick answer

Clean your silicone dildo with a gentle, fragrance-free toy cleaner and warm water after every use, then let it air dry completely before storing it in a cool, dry place away from other toys.

Step-by-step cleaning routine

1. Rinse with warm water: Hold the dildo under warm running water to remove any visible debris or lube. Use your fingers to gently wipe the surface. Don't use hot water—it can damage silicone over time.
2. Apply a gentle toy cleaner: Dispense a small amount of JO Foaming Toy Cleaner onto the toy. Rub it over the entire surface, including any ridges or textures. Avoid regular soaps with fragrance or dyes; they can irritate skin and leave residue.
3. Rinse thoroughly: Rinse the toy again under warm water until no foam or cleaner remains. Make sure no suds are left in any crevices. Leftover cleaner can cause irritation, so rinse until the toy feels slick, not soapy.
4. Air dry completely: Place the dildo on a clean towel or drying rack in a well-ventilated area. Let it dry fully before storing. Storing a damp toy can encourage mold or bacteria growth.
5. Store separately: Keep your silicone dildo in a cool, dry place, ideally in its own pouch or wrapped in a soft cloth. Avoid contact with other silicone toys. Silicone can react with other silicones, causing melting or damage. Use a separate storage bag if possible.
