How to clean a Rose Toy? Rose Toy is easy to clean because it is made up of non-porous and highly resistant silicone. Properly cleaning a rose toy is crucial not only for its lifespan but also important for the user. Washing it ensures the vagina’s health by protecting it from bacteria and other germs.
Here are the best cleaning methods that I have been using since 2010. This guide is specific for rose toys, but these practices can be used for cleaning every type of adult toy if they are made of body-safe silicone.
How to clean a rose toy? 3 Ways to clean a rose sex vibrator
I usually practice these ways to disinfect the clit stimulator. These are not final; it could be more, but in my experience, these 3 are the best.
Toy cleaner, Soap, and detergent
The primary purpose of how to clean a rose toy is to kill harmful bacteria and enjoy the orgasm with peace of mind. To serve this purpose, I have used Foaming Toy Cleaner for a long time. Alternatively, we can also use antibacterial and fragrance-free soaps.
You should follow the following steps.
step 1: Wash the toy with water
After using the rose toy, wash it with normal water to remove any particles or fluids that might be attached to it after vaginal or anal usage. The petals of the toy need more care and attention to be cleaned. Open the petals with your hand and allow the water to pass from each corner.
Because the cavities between the layers of petals provide suitable environmental conditions for bacterial growth, we must ensure that those narrow spaces are clean.
step 2: Apply the cleaner or Soap to it
After washing it with water, it’s time to apply cleaner. Take the cleaner in one hand and paste it on the whole toy surface. Please use cleaner between the silicon petals on the toy, opening them one by one. The same process can be followed for cleaning with Soap.
step 3: Rub it with your hands, brush, or soft cloth
I prefer to rub the toy with my hand. If you have long nails, you must pay more attention while rubbing them because the nails’ sharpness may damage the toy’s soft, skinny body. Continue washing for a minimum of 1 minute. You can wash it using any type of brush and a soft towel or cloth to wash it. But in my observation, cleaning with hands is better than using a brush. With our fingers, we can see which side is completely cleaned and which needs more cleaning.
step 4: rinse it with Regular or hot water
To remove the cleaner from the toy, we rewash it with water. After you have cleaned each corner of the toy, it’s time to wash it again with water to remove the cleaner we applied earlier.
step 5: dry it before use or storage
When I began using adult toys, I washed and stored them without drying them. This uncaring behavior cost me multiple toys and doctor’s charges!
To avoid any type of microbial growth while storing, it is mandatory to remove moisture from the surface of the vibrator. Rose toys have smooth surfaces that don’t absorb water, so they are easy to dry.
Sanitizing with 10% Bleach solution
Rose vibrator sanitization is a common practice among users. However, the actual process, which I researched and after gathering information from various users, is variable.
Here is my recommended method for sterilization of the toy with Bleach:
- Take 180ml of cold water in a bowl of plastic or glass.
- Add 20ml of Bleach in it and mix it with your hand or any other glass or metal object. Please do not use wooden material for mixing!
- Mix it up to 3 to 5 minutes to get a uniform solution of Bleach.
- It’s time to dip your toy in it. But wait! You have to make sure that your toy is waterproof and that its silicone skin is not damaged.
- Must wash the sucker with normal water prior to dipping into solution.
- Dip the vibrator into the sanitization solution for 3 to 10 minutes, depending on the type of toy.
- Please be sure that the whole toy is dipped into the solution to kill the bacteria and yeast effectively. If any part of the toy remains outside, then that part’s microbes will stay alive and might cause infection to the vagina and anal environment.
- After that, remove the toy from the bowl and properly wash it with normal water to remove all the solution from the surface.
- Now, we can enjoy the orgasm with sexual independence!
Boiling
Boiling a rose toy is a common practice; this technique 100% ensures the killing of bacteria. Toys made of glass, metal, and silicon can be subjected to boiling. However, we have to consider a few things before deciding to boil them.
Make sure your toy is waterproof.
- It contains a battery or motor.
- Carefully read the manufacturer’s guidelines for boiling.
If it meets the above criteria, then we can boil it!
Here are steps to boil:
- Put a pot on the burner and put some water in it.
- Heat it up to the boiling point.
- With the help of togs, put the toy into the water.
- Let it boil for 3 minutes.
- Then remove it and wash it with cold water.
- Then, let it dry under the shade on a clean towel.
Now, we can play with it!
My best practices
- Always wash your hands properly before washing a sex vibrator.
- Washing by hand is more convenient and effective.
- I always prefer to use toy cleaners because these are specifically made for this kind of stuff.
- I do not use Bleach for cleaning.
- I only boil the toy when the bad smell is not fading off.
- Clean the spaces between the petals twice because these are more suitable for bacteria, fungal, and yeast growth.
- Each time, clean the rose toy after using it.
- Cleaning it before using it is also essential.
- Cleaning the silicon petals carefully.
- Check whether your clit sucker is waterproof or not.
Storage advice for the Rose toy
Proper storage conditions are essential for a rose toy to function properly and lifespan.
Here are some of the instructions:
- A clean and dry toy is a prerequisite for storage. If you store a dirty and wet toy, bacterial growth will occur, and using that toy will cause skin irritation.
- Store in breathable bags like cotton bags or sugar sacks. Please avoid using simple plastic bags, as they may cause unpleasant things.
- If you have an extensive collection of toys, then a storage box will be a better choice.
- Storage temperature for rechargeable toys is 68F to 77F.
- Relative humidity must be between 30% to 60%.
- It should be stored away from direct sunlight.
