The Simple Guide to Cleaning TPE Sex Toys

In this guide, you will learn how to clean your TPE doll in a simple and effective way. This will keep it hygienic as well as looking its best.

Cleaning TPE Sex Toys

• TPE is sensitive. Avoid harsh chemicals such as alcohol, bleach or solvents. These products can discolor, crack, and weaken the material.

• Warm water will be your best friend. Use lukewarm or warm water to clean. Avoid using hot water as it can cause the TPE to deform.

• Handle TPE with care. It can easily be damaged if you handle it roughly. Avoid scrubbing and use soft cloths.

You Need Cleaning Supplies

Before you begin cleaning your sex doll , make sure that you have all the supplies needed:

• A large basin or bath: The ideal basin or tub is one that can comfortably fit your doll.

• Use soft washcloths and sponges. Choose gentle, nonabrasive washcloths. Avoid anything with a rough edge or texture.

• Mild soap is the perfect choice for sensitive skin. It’s a gentle liquid soap that doesn’t have any fragrance. Baby soaps are a favorite.

• Warm Water: Fill the basin or tub with lukewarm enough water to comfortably submerge your doll.

• Talcum Powder:After drying, a light dusting with talcum powder can prevent TPE from adhering to itself.

Step-by-Step guide on how to clean TPE Sex Doll

1. Preparation: Remove all accessories, such as wigs, jewellery, and removable eyes. If necessary, separate clean them.
2. Pre-Rinse : Gently rinse your doll with lukewarm lukewarm. This step can be done with a spray bottle, or by dampening a soft cotton cloth.
3. Lather & Wash: Pour some mild soap on your washcloth to create a lather. Wash your doll gently, paying special attention to the areas that tend accumulate dirt and moisture, like:
   Genitals
   Armpits
   – Inner thighs
   – Behind the ears
   – Between the fingers and toes
4. Rinse thoroughly: After washing the doll, rinse it off with a lot of soap. Clean, lukewarm, water is best. Make sure there are no soap bubbles left, as these can leave a film.
5. It is important to dry the doll. To gently dry the doll, use a dry, clean washcloth. Rubing can lead to scratches. Concentrate on removing moisture from folds and crevices.
6. Air Dry: Let your doll air dry in an area that is well ventilated and out of direct sunlight. It may take several hours depending on the size of your doll and its thickness. Do not use a hairdryer, or place the doll close to heat sources. This can damage the TPE.
7. You can dust your doll lightly with talcum after it has dried to stop the TPE sticking to the doll, particularly in the areas of the fingers and toes. This step is optional and some doll owners choose to skip it.

Additional Cleaning Tip

• Cleaning Makeup – If your doll is wearing makeup, you can use a makeup remover that’s gentle and designed for sensitive skin. Avoid harsh or oil-based products. Test the product on a small area that is not visible.

• Consult your doll’s manufacturer for instructions on how to remove stubborn stains. Some manufacturers suggest using a mild disinfectant diluted with water. Test any cleaning solution in a hidden part of the doll before using it on the whole thing.

• Disinfecting: For added hygiene, you can disinfect your doll periodically. One popular method is to use a vinegar solution diluted (1 part white vinegar and 4 parts water). Check with the doll’s manufacturer before using vinegar, as certain TPE materials may react badly.

How To Maintain Your TPE Sex Doll

Here’s some more tips on how to maintain your TPE doll in the best possible condition:

• Storing your doll correctly is important. When your doll is not in use, it should be stored in a dark, cool and dry place. Avoid storing your doll in direct sunlight and extreme temperatures.

• Create a regular cleaning schedule for your doll. Cleaning frequency depends on how frequently you use your doll. It is best to clean your device weekly after each use, and then do a thorough cleaning once a month.

• Stick to water-based doll lubricants. Oil based lubricants may damage TPE.

• Avoid harsh environments. Keep your doll far away from harsh chemicals and surfaces. Included in this are cleaning products, paint fumes and sharp objects.

• Pose your doll gently: Avoid putting too much strain on the joints and skeleton of your doll when posing it. It is important to handle it carefully in order to avoid tears and rips.

• Consider investing in a doll-care kit. Certain doll manufacturers sell care kits with cleaning powders and solutions that are specifically designed for TPE materials.

Troubleshooting common cleaning issues

• Discoloration: Your doll may appear discolored due to improper cleaning, sunlight exposure, or harsh chemicals. Ask your manufacturer about specific tips on how to combat discoloration.

• Sticky residue: If the doll is sticky after drying it could be because of soap residue, or incorrect drying techniques. Make sure all soap residue is removed and the doll is completely dried before drying it with air.

• Tears and Rips: It’s important to fix any tears or rips on your doll as soon as possible. Some manufacturers provide repair kits that come with detailed instructions. For significant damage, consult a professional doll repair service.
