How to Clean Sex Toys: A Guide to SVAKOM Products

Cleaning your sex toys after each use helps remove lubricant and other residue before it dries. Since toys vary in design, materials, and waterproof ratings, each type may require a different cleaning approach.

In this guide, we'll walk you through how to clean six types of SVAKOM products, from classic vibrators and suction toys to uniquely shaped designs, Klitty, automatic male masturbators, and dildos. Always check your product's manual for model-specific care instructions before cleaning.

Before You Start: 3 Essential Cleaning Rules

1. Check the Product's Waterproof Rating

Before cleaning, check your product's manual for its waterproof rating and specific care instructions. Some toys can be rinsed under water, while others should only be wiped with a damp cloth. Even when a toy is water-resistant or waterproof, its charging ports, removable parts, and internal components may have different care requirements.

Never immerse a product or expose its charging port to water unless its instructions explicitly allow it. If you're unsure what your toy's rating means, see our guide to waterproof sex toys.

2. Use a Cleaner Compatible With the Material

Different materials require different care. Choose a cleaner that is compatible with your toy's materials, and avoid solvents, abrasive products, or other cleaning agents that the manufacturer has not approved.

SVAKOM Sex Toy Cleaner is designed for use on compatible intimate products and materials. Always check the product label and your toy's care instructions before use.

3. Let the Toy Dry Completely Before Storing

After cleaning, gently remove excess moisture with a clean, lint-free cloth if recommended for your product. Allow all washable parts, grooves, and removable sleeves to dry completely before reassembling or storing the toy. Avoid sealing damp parts inside a pouch or case.

How to Clean Different Types of SVAKOM Sex Toys

1. How to Clean Classic Single-Ended and Dual-Ended Vibrators

This category covers classic straight vibrators and dual-ended designs.

1. Turn off the toy and disconnect it from the charger.
2. Check the manual to confirm which parts can be exposed to water.
3. Clean the accessible surfaces with warm water and a compatible toy cleaner, following the product's care instructions.
4. Gently wipe around the head, shaft, and accessible grooves or seams where residue may collect.
5. Rinse away the cleaner if required by its label and permitted by your product's care instructions. Gently remove excess moisture and allow the toy to dry completely before storing.

Never soak or rinse a toy unless its specific instructions allow it.

2. How to Clean Suction Toys

Some SVAKOM suction toys, such as Pulse Lite Neo, feature a suction opening that needs extra attention during cleaning.

1. Turn off the toy and disconnect it from the charger.
2. Use a clean, soft cotton swab lightly dampened with water to gently clean the suction opening and its accessible surrounding surfaces. Make sure the swab is not dripping wet.
3. Clean the remaining external surfaces according to the product's waterproof rating and care instructions.
4. Use a fresh, dry cotton swab to absorb any remaining moisture around the opening. Allow the toy to air-dry completely before storing.

Never pour water or cleaner into the suction opening or air channel. Do not push cotton swabs or other objects into internal passages. Always follow your model's specific cleaning instructions.

3. How to Clean Uniquely Shaped Vibrators

Products such as Echo 2 and Nymph feature distinctive shapes and curves that may require extra attention during cleaning.

1. Turn off the toy and check its waterproof rating before cleaning.
2. Gently clean around curves, grooves, and other accessible areas where lubricant may collect.
3. If the model has removable parts, remove and clean them separately only as instructed in the manual.
4. Rinse the toy only if its care instructions allow it. Remove excess moisture and let all parts dry completely before reassembling or storing.

Avoid using sharp tools to remove residue or forcing any moving parts beyond their intended range.

4. How to Clean SVAKOM Klitty

Klitty features a suction head and a small airflow hole near the licking section, both of which require careful handling during cleaning. For a visual demonstration, watch How to Clean SVAKOM Klitty.

1. Turn off Klitty and disconnect it from the charger.
2. Clean the external surfaces according to the product's care instructions.
3. Gently wipe around the suction head and accessible areas where lubricant or residue may collect.
4. If recommended in the official care instructions, briefly activate the suction function as demonstrated in the cleaning video to help clear accessible residue around the airflow hole.
5. Use a clean, soft, lint-free cloth to remove excess moisture from the exterior.
6. Allow the toy to dry completely before storing it.

Do not block the openings, poke them with sharp objects, or force water through the internal channels. Avoid using paper towels or lint-producing cloths around the airflow hole, as loose fibers may collect there. Follow Klitty’s official care instructions for internal cleaning.

5. How to Clean Automatic Male Masturbators

This section covers SVAKOM male masturbators with removable sleeves. Use water-based lubricant with compatible sleeves, and clean them after each use to prevent residue from drying inside.

1. Turn off the device and remove the sleeve according to the product manual.
2. Empty any remaining fluid from the sleeve, then rinse its inner channel with warm water, following the sleeve's care instructions.
3. Clean the sleeve separately using a compatible toy cleaner or mild soap, if allowed by the manufacturer's instructions. Pay extra attention to textured areas where residue may collect.
4. Rinse thoroughly if required by the cleaning product, then allow the sleeve to air-dry completely.
5. Wipe the outer housing with a dry or slightly damp cloth. Do not rinse or immerse the motorized housing, and keep water away from charging ports and internal components.
6. Reassemble the toy only when the sleeve and housing are completely dry.

Never submerge the motorized housing or assume the entire device is waterproof just because the sleeve is washable. Always follow the care instructions for your specific model.

6. How to Clean Dildos

Non-vibrating dildos are generally simpler to clean because they do not contain electronic components. However, the right cleaning method still depends on the material and the manufacturer's instructions. Non-porous silicone dildos can generally be cleaned with warm water and a compatible toy cleaner, provided the manufacturer's instructions allow it.

1. Rinse the toy under warm water to remove visible lubricant or residue.
2. Apply a suitable cleaner (or mild soap if the manufacturer allows) and gently wash the entire surface, including any textured areas or suction-cup bases.
3. Rinse thoroughly to remove all cleaner.
4. Wipe with a clean, lint-free cloth and let the toy air dry completely before storing.

If the dildo is made of a porous material or contains a vibrating mechanism, follow the model's specific care instructions. Never assume that every dildo can be submerged or rinsed under running water. Wipe away lubricant and fluid residue as soon as you can, before it dries.

Why Use a Dedicated Sex Toy Cleaner?

Choose a Cleaner Compatible With Your Toy

Not all household cleaning products are suitable for intimate products. Harsh detergents, solvents, and abrasive formulas may damage certain materials. Choose a cleaner specifically formulated for compatible toy materials and always follow the manufacturer's instructions.

How Proper Cleaning Helps Maintain Your Toys

• Remove Lubricant and Residue: Regular cleaning helps prevent lubricant and bodily fluids from building up on the surface.
• Protect Material Condition: Using compatible cleaning products helps avoid unnecessary wear or damage.
• Maintain Your Toy: Proper cleaning, drying, and storage help keep your toy in good condition over time.

Good care helps keep your toy in suitable condition, but its lifespan also depends on the materials, frequency of use, battery age, and storage conditions.

Drying and Storing Your Sex Toys Properly

Once all parts are completely dry, store your toy in a clean, cool, and dry place. A breathable storage pouch or the original packaging can help protect it from dust and contact with other items.

Keep toys away from direct sunlight, excessive heat, and incompatible materials. For battery-powered products, follow the manufacturer's recommendations for charging and long-term storage.
