How to Clean and Store Intimate Wellness Products
Share
Cleaning and storing intimate wellness products correctly helps you care for them and follow the manufacturer’s instructions. Products can differ in material, design and water resistance, so always check the care information for the specific item before cleaning it.
Check the product instructions first
Before cleaning a product, read its instructions and product details. Check which cleaning method is recommended, whether the item can come into contact with water, and whether any parts need special care.
Do not assume that a rechargeable or water-resistant product can be submerged. Pay particular attention to charging ports, controls, seams and detachable components.
General cleaning steps
Unless the manufacturer provides different instructions, these general steps can help you care for many products:
- Turn the product off and disconnect any charging cable or accessory.
- Use only the cleaning method recommended by the manufacturer.
- Clean gently, paying attention to seams and textured areas.
- Rinse only if the product instructions say it is safe to do so.
- Dry the product fully with a clean, soft cloth or allow it to air-dry as directed.
Avoid harsh cleaners, abrasive materials and excessive heat unless the manufacturer specifically recommends them. These may damage some materials or product components.
Keep charging parts dry
For rechargeable products, check the instructions before cleaning around the charging port or magnetic connector. Make sure the product is fully dry before charging it. Keep cables and charging accessories clean and store them separately if the manufacturer recommends this.
Store products in a clean, dry place
Once a product is completely dry, store it in a clean place away from direct sunlight, excessive heat and moisture. A storage pouch can help protect it from dust, but check whether the product needs ventilation or any specific storage conditions.
If you store more than one product together, follow the manufacturer’s advice about keeping materials separate. Keep products and accessories away from children and pets.
Check the product before each use
Before using a product, check it for visible damage, unusual changes or loose components. Do not use a product if it appears damaged. Refer to the manufacturer’s guidance or contact the store if you are unsure how to care for it.
