Sex Toy Cleaners – Simple, Hygienic Care for Your Intimate Toys

Sex toy cleaners make it quick and easy to keep your toys fresh and hygienic between uses, so they are ready whenever you are. They suit anyone who owns vibrators, dildos, plugs or masturbators, and they are especially handy when you cannot easily wash a toy under the tap. Our range includes alcohol-free sprays for delicate materials, antibacterial and disinfectant sprays, natural and tea tree formulas, a cleaning detergent, electrode wipes and a UV steriliser box. Check the stated materials, directions and rinsing advice on each listing so you choose a cleaner that suits your toys and your routine.

Why Clean Your Toys Properly?

Toys come into contact with body fluids and lubricant, and leftover residue can build up over time. Cleaning after every use keeps them hygienic, helps them stay comfortable on the skin and can help them last longer. A dedicated cleaner is designed for intimate products, so it is often gentler on toy materials than household cleaning products.

After Every Use

The simplest routine is to clean a toy straight after use, before residue dries. Spray cleaners let you do this in a minute or two: spray, wipe or rinse as directed, and leave the toy to dry. Follow the instructions for each product, as some need rinsing and others can be wiped off.

For Toys You Cannot Submerge

Many vibrators have charging ports or buttons that should not go under running water unless the toy is described as waterproof. A spray cleaner lets you clean the surface without soaking the electronics.

For Shared Toys

If you share toys with a partner, cleaning between users is an important part of good sexual health. Many people also use a new condom on shared toys for extra protection.

Types of Sex Toy Cleaners

Alcohol-Free Toy Cleaner Sprays

Alcohol-free sprays from brands such as Eros, Intimateline and Satisfyer are designed to clean without the harshness of alcohol. Some, such as the Pjur We-Vibe Toy Cleaner, are described as suitable for alcohol-sensitive materials such as silicone, latex and rubber. These are a good everyday choice for mixed toy collections.

Antibacterial and Disinfectant Sprays

Several sprays are described by their makers as antibacterial or disinfectant, including products from Fleshlight, Mixgliss and Intimichic. Fleshlight Wash is made with sleeves and other adult toys in mind, which makes it a natural partner for male masturbators. Read the directions for how long to leave each spray in contact with the toy.

Natural and Tea Tree Formulas

Some cleaners use plant-based or organic ingredients, such as tea tree oil or the Cobeco Bio range. These suit people who prefer a simpler formula. As with any cleaner, check that it is suitable for your toy's material.

Gentle Cleaners for Toys and Skin

A few cleaners are described as suitable for toys and the external intimate area, such as Fun Factory's gentle toy cleaner. Only use a cleaner on skin if the listing clearly says it is designed for that.

Cleaning Detergents and Wipes

Liquid cleaning detergents, such as Intimateline IntimClean, are used with water for a deeper wash. ElectraStim offers sterile electrode cleaning wipes made for its electro-stimulation accessories.

UV Steriliser Box

The Stertoy UV steriliser is a box that uses an ultraviolet lamp to treat items placed inside, adding an extra hygiene step after you have cleaned them. It does not replace washing, so clean the toy first and follow the maker's guidance on use.

How to Choose Sex Toy Cleaners

• Toy material: Check the listing for the materials the cleaner is designed for, such as silicone, latex, rubber, glass or metal.
• Alcohol content: Choose an alcohol-free cleaner for delicate or alcohol-sensitive materials.
• Format: Sprays are quick and handy, detergents suit a deeper wash, and wipes are useful for small accessories.
• Rinse or wipe: Some cleaners must be rinsed off, while others can be wiped away. Pick the routine that suits you.
• Ingredients: If you have sensitive skin, look at what the cleaner contains, and rinse toys well before use.
• Size: Small bottles suit a bedside drawer or travel bag, while larger bottles suit bigger collections.

Cleaning Your Toys Safely

A Simple Cleaning Routine

• Remove batteries or unplug: Switch off the toy and remove batteries if possible before cleaning.
• Rinse off lube: Wipe or rinse away lubricant and residue first, especially around seams and textures.
• Apply the cleaner: Spray or apply the cleaner as directed and leave it for the time stated on the listing.
• Rinse or wipe: Rinse or wipe the toy according to the instructions, then let it air dry or pat it dry with a clean cloth.

Protecting Toys and Skin

• Avoid harsh household products: Bleach, strong detergents and some solvents can damage toy materials and irritate skin.
• Keep electronics dry: Do not submerge a toy unless it is described as waterproof, and keep charging ports dry.
• Test new cleaners: If you are unsure about a material, try the cleaner on a small, hidden area first.
• Follow the toy maker: Your toy's own cleaning instructions always come first.

The NHS advises keeping sex toys clean and, if you share them, washing them between each use and putting a new condom on them each time. Read more in the NHS guidance on sex activities and risk.

Storing Your Toys and Sex Toy Cleaners

• Dry before storing: Make sure toys are completely dry before putting them away.
• Store toys separately: Keep each toy in a clean pouch or its box, and keep silicone toys apart from other materials.
• Look after the cleaner: Close the bottle after use and store it at room temperature, away from heat and sunlight.
• Check the date: Follow the use-by date or period-after-opening symbol on the bottle.
• Keep out of reach: Store cleaners and toys away from children and pets.

Pair your cleaner with the right lube from our sex lubricants and essentials, and keep favourites such as dildos and anal sex toys in good condition for longer.
