Step 1: Get the right cleaning products

For a thorough and safe cleaning of sex dolls you need the right cleaning products. Using the wrong products damages the material and shortens the lifespan by 1-2 years. That is why it is important to always use skin-friendly cleaning products.

Never use alcohol or harsh cleaning agents. These will dry out the silicone or TPE material and make it brittle. Instead, choose gentle and effective cleaning agents that are specifically designed for sex dolls.

To keep your sex doll optimally clean, we recommend the following products:

• Antibacterial soap – Mild (pH between 5 and 7) and safe for both silicone and TPE.
• Lukewarm water – Never use hot water, this will deform the material.
• Microfiber cloths – Soft and lint-free, suitable for drying your doll.
• Specific Sex Doll Cleaning Kits – Includes brushes and sprays to clean hard-to-reach areas.
• UV disinfection lamps – For extra hygiene and killing bacteria without chemicals.

Step 2: External cleaning of the sex doll

Keeping a sex doll clean is essential for hygiene and longevity. Using the right cleaning method will prevent damage to the delicate TPE or silicone material. Follow these four simple steps to thoroughly and safely clean your torso sex doll or full size sex doll .

• Rinse the doll with lukewarm water

Use lukewarm water to rinse the surface of the sex doll. Avoid hot water, as this will weaken and deform the material. Do not allow water to enter any openings or joints, especially on a doll with a metal skeleton.

• Use antibacterial soap and a soft cloth

Apply a mild, antibacterial soap to a soft cloth or sponge. Gently wipe over the doll's entire body, including arms, legs, and face. Do not apply pressure to avoid damage or tearing.

• Remove stubborn dirt with a sponge or brush

Use a soft sponge or a special brush with fine hairs to remove stubborn dirt. Make circular movements without scrubbing, so that the material remains intact.

• Rinse the doll again and remove all soap residue

Rinse the sex doll thoroughly again with lukewarm water to remove all soap residue. Any remaining water and soap will damage the material and make it sticky. Then gently pat the doll dry with a clean, lint-free towel.

By following these steps regularly, your erotic doll will remain clean and hygienic, which will benefit both its lifespan and ease of use.

Step 3: Internal cleaning of the sex doll

The internal cleaning of a sex doll is to prevent bacteria and unpleasant odors. Preferably use a special internal cleaning rod (cylindrical shower head or enema) or rinse the cavities manually with lukewarm water and mild antibacterial soap. Make sure that all soap residue is rinsed away well to prevent irritation or damage to the material.

Some sex dolls are equipped with a self-cleaning system, which greatly facilitates the cleaning process and guarantees extra hygiene, however, this system will also show defects over time while repairing is complicated. Dry the inside carefully with an absorbent cloth or cotton drying sticks (diatomite) and let the doll air dry completely before storing it again.

Step 4: Drying the sex doll

A wet sex doll is a breeding ground for mold and bacteria. Dry your doll to keep your doll fresh and hygienic. Follow these methods to dry your sex doll safely and effectively:

• Dry manually with a microfiber cloth
  Use a soft microfiber cloth to thoroughly pat all surfaces dry. Pay extra attention to skin folds and hard to reach areas.
  
  
• Using a breathable storage bag
  Store your doll in a special breathable storage bag. This prevents moisture build-up and helps with natural ventilation. Note that the internal channels must also dry.
  
  
• Special drying rods for internal parts
  Use our diatomite drying sticks, specially designed to remove moisture from the internal channels of your doll. This reduces the chance of bacterial growth and mold formation.
  
  
• Quick-drying material as a unique feature
  Some sex dolls are made of quick-drying silicone or TPE material. This makes the drying process easier and reduces the risk of mold. This TPE material is not completely self-drying.
  
  

By drying your sex doll properly, you extend its lifespan by 1-2 years. This keeps your doll hygienic and safe.

Step 5: Store the sex doll correctly

Proper storage will extend the life of your sex doll by 1-2 years and prevent damage. Follow these tips to keep your doll in top condition:

• Store the doll in a cool, dry place
  Avoid humid (above 70% humidity) and warm spaces (above 24 degrees), as this will damage the material. A cupboard, storage box or well-ventilated space is ideal.
• Place the doll on a soft surface or use a stand
  This prevents deformation and pressure points. A foam mattress, a soft blanket or a special hanging stand works best.
• Use a protective cover or storage bag
  This keeps the doll dust-free and prevents scratches. We supply a special cover and storage blanket as standard.
• Avoid direct sunlight and extreme temperatures
  UV rays and heat dry out the material and make it brittle. Never store the doll in a damp basement or in direct sunlight.
• Choose our breathable storage bag for extra protection
  Our sex dolls come with breathable TPU covers with holes to prevent mold and keep the material fresh.

Why is cleaning a sex doll important?

Keeping a sex doll clean and hygienic is important for both your health and the lifespan of the doll. Uncleaned sex dolls collect bacteria and mold, leading to infections and other health risks. In addition, dirt and moisture cause unpleasant odors.

Cleaning your sex doll after each use will prevent these problems and ensure that it lasts 1-2 years longer. Materials such as silicone and TPE require special care, as they are more susceptible to wear and tear and damage from harsh cleaning agents containing alcohol.

Common mistakes when cleaning a sex doll

Although cleaning a sex doll seems simple, some users make mistakes that shorten the lifespan and hygiene of their doll. Below we discuss the most common mistakes and why you should avoid them:

• Use of hot water above 40 degrees Celsius
  Some users think that hot water cleans better, but this is harmful to the doll. Hot water weakens, deforms or damages the TPE or silicone material. Always use lukewarm water to avoid damage.
  
  
• Using alcohol or aggressive cleaning agents
  Strong cleaning agents such as alcohol, bleach or disinfectant sprays will make the material dry and brittle. This increases the chance of cracks and damage. Instead, use a mild (pH value between 5 and 7) antibacterial soap or a special cleaner for sex dolls.
  
  
• Not drying properly
  Moisture that remains in or on the doll will cause mold or bacteria to grow. This will not only damage the doll, but can also pose a health risk. Make sure to dry the doll completely after cleaning with a soft cloth and drying sticks. Always air her out thoroughly before storing.
  
  
• Incorrect storage
  Storing a sex doll incorrectly will cause deformations, cracks or damage to the material. Avoid storing in a humid space above (70% humidity) or in an unnatural position. Store the doll in a dry, clean place and, if possible, hang her up or lay her flat to prevent pressure points.
