Luckily, there are plenty of sex toy cleaners that make cleaning a jiff.

Two words: bodily fluids.

Bodily fluids contain bacteria that, outside of the body, can multiply and grow, she explains.

Sure, sharing is caring…but only to an extent.

Here to help protect you from these unwanted infections are sex toy cleaners.

That being said, you could also air-dry your toys on a clean paper towel if you so choose.

But whatever method you choose, check that our machine iscompletelydry before it goes back into storage.

Still, not all sex toy cleaners are created equal.

Fragrance-, alcohol-, and paraben-free, the Lelo Premium Sex Toy Cleaner leaves neither odor nor residue behind.

All you do is spritz the spray onto your toy and wipe it dry.

Unlike most formulas that spray-on like Windex, this foaming toy cleaner creates a satisfying lather.

This particular product is also fragrance-free, paraben-free, and triclosan-free, so you dont have to second-guess yourself.

Maude Clean No.

To be clear: Sterilizer pouches are different from sex toy cleaners.

“They don’t clean any dirt, dust, or debris off the toy,” says Finn.

So, before you use it, wipe your toy down with a clean T-shirt.

Made with a vegan, glycerin-free formula, this option is both gentle and effective.

Obviously, condoms aren’t sex toy cleaners.

“The only toys this hack won’t work well for are air-suction toys,” she says.

The latex gets in the way of the air-pleasure sensation, and who would want that to happen?

Say bye-bye to bacteria with Promescent’s effective toy cleaning spray.

The best part, however, is its price.

This eight-ounce bottle rings up at just $12, making it a great bang for your buck.

If so, you should invest in a refresh powder like the Doc Johnson Main Squeeze Refresh Power.
