CLEANING

One of the standout features of platinum silicone is its non-porous surface. Unlike other materials, it does not harbor bacteria or other pathogens, significantly reducing the risk of infections. This non-porous nature also ensures that the material remains intact and safe, even with frequent use.

Maintaining hygiene with platinum silicone is incredibly straightforward. It can be easily cleaned using mild soap and water, and for thorough sterilization, it can be boiled or placed in a dishwasher (top rack only). This ease of cleaning ensures that the toys remain safe for use time after time, providing peace of mind to users.

Platinum silicone’s resistance to chemicals and body fluids ensures that it remains stable and does not degrade over time. This stability is crucial for maintaining the safety and integrity of the toys throughout their lifespan.

Cleaning Platinum Cure Silicone Between Insertions:

1. Rinse with Warm Water:

• Start by rinsing the toy with warm water to remove any surface debris or body fluids.

2. Use Mild, Unscented Soap:

• Apply a small amount of mild, unscented, and preferably antibacterial soap. Avoid soaps with harsh chemicals, fragrances, or dyes that could irritate the skin or damage the silicone.

3. Gently Scrub:

• Using your hands or a soft, non-abrasive cloth, gently scrub the toy to clean all surfaces. Pay special attention to any textured areas or crevices.

4. Rinse Thoroughly:

• Rinse the toy thoroughly with warm water to ensure all soap residues are removed. Residual soap can cause irritation during the next use.

5. Dry Completely:

• Pat the toy dry with a clean, lint-free towel. Alternatively, you can let it air dry on a clean surface. Make sure it is completely dry before storing or reusing to prevent any bacterial growth.

Deep Cleaning (Periodically or for Thorough Sterilization):

1. Boiling:

• Boil the toy in water for 3-5 minutes. Ensure the toy is fully submerged and not touching the sides of the pot to avoid any melting or deformation. Use tongs to remove the toy from the water and place it on a clean towel to air dry.

2. Dishwasher:

• You can place it on the top rack of the dishwasher and run a cycle without detergent. Ensure the dishwasher is set to a high-temperature wash to effectively sterilize the toy. 

 

STORAGE

1. Clean Thoroughly: Before storing, wash the toys with mild soap and warm water. Rinse thoroughly to remove any soap residue. 

2. Dry Completely: Make sure the toys are completely dry before storing them. Any moisture left on the toys can lead to mold or mildew.

3. Use Storage Bags: Store each toy in its own storage bag. Cotton or velvet bags are ideal because they are breathable and help protect the toys from dust and damage.

4. Avoid Contact with Other Materials: Silicone toys can sometimes react with other materials, especially other types of silicone or latex. Store them separately to avoid any chemical reactions or damage.

 

LUBE

Use a lot of water-based lube. We recommend FFausten or X-Lube. 

You can also use grease such as Elbow Grease or Crisco although it is more difficult to clean off.  

Do not use silicone lube on silicone toys. 

 

ATTACHMENT HOLE

If your toy has an attachment hole, always use lubrication when inserting attachments in it. This hole is more prone to tears so use extra caution.
