Why Hygiene Matters
A well-maintained dildo not only lasts longer but also ensures safe and hygienic use. Cleaning and proper care are crucial, especially since different materials require unique approaches.
Your dildos comes into direct contact with intimate areas, so maintaining cleanliness is non-negotiable. Regular cleaning prevents bacteria build-up, reduces the risk of infections, and keeps your toy in pristine condition for years to come.
Cleaning Methods by Material
Silicone Dildos
Why Care Matters: Silicone is non-porous and body-safe, making it easy to clean and resistant to bacteria.
How to Clean:
- Wash with warm water and mild, unscented soap after every use.
- For a deeper clean, boil your silicone dildo for 3–5 minutes (if it’s non-vibrating).
- Use a toy cleaner for convenience.
Storage Tip: Keep it in a separate, lint-free pouch to prevent dust from sticking to the surface.
Glass Dildos
Glass is non-porous and highly durable, but it needs careful handling to avoid chips or cracks. Wash with warm water and soap, or place it in the dishwasher if the manufacturer approves.
For added sterilization, soak in a 10% bleach solution (rinse thoroughly afterward). Use a padded pouch or wrap in soft fabric to protect it from damage.
Metal Dildos
How to Clean:
- Wash with warm water and mild soap, or boil for sterilization.
- Polish with a soft cloth to maintain its sleek finish.
Why Care Matters
Stainless steel is ultra-durable and non-porous, but proper cleaning ensures it stays shiny and safe. Store in a case or pouch to avoid scratches and maintain its polished look.

Jelly, PVC, or TPE Dildos
These materials are porous, meaning they can trap bacteria if not cleaned properly.
Since these materials are not stable as silicones, avoid boiling or using harsh cleaners, as these can damage the material.
Also keep in mind especially storage out of the sunshine. Better replace it more frequently with non-porous silicone toys.
Storage Tips to Extend Longevity
- Avoid Sunlight and Heat: Keep your toys in a cool, dry place to prevent material degradation.
- Store Separately: Avoid direct contact between toys, as some materials can react with each other.
- Invest in Toy Storage Bags or Boxes: DomLust offers discreet and breathable storage solutions ideal for protecting your toys.
