Why do the best things in life, like food and sex, come with chores? Fortunately, cleaning glass sex toys is easy and simple.Since glass toys are non-porous, they can be effectively cleaned in various ways. The most convenient method to clean your glass toys is with mild soap and warm water. You can also use a reliable brand of antibacterial soap or toy cleaner.
It's important to note that glass toys should not be boiled or cleaned in a dishwasher. Although borosilicate glass is heat-resistant, the boiling motion can cause cracks and scratches on the toy's surface. Dishwasher detergents can also damage the surface.
Quick clean
For a quick and effective clean, use mild soap and warm water to thoroughly wash your toy in a sink or tub, ensuring that all surfaces are properly cleaned
Sanitize
Soak the glass toy in a properly diluted disinfectant solution (such as 70% isopropyl alcohol or ethanol) for about 10 minutes.If you have a UV sanitization device, place the glass dildo inside and follow the device instructions. It usually takes a few minutes to complete the sanitization.
Deep clean
Mix an appropriate ratio of bleach and water (typically 1:10), and soak the glass toy in the bleach solution for about 10 minutes. Bleach is highly corrosive, so use caution and ensure thorough rinsing to avoid skin irritation from residue.
How to Dry Glass Sex Toys After Cleaning
Gently shake the toy to remove as much water as possible. This helps to minimize the amount of moisture that needs to be dried manually.
Use a clean, lint-free cloth or towel to dry the toy. Carefully pat and rub all surfaces to absorb the water. Pay special attention to any textured areas or crevices to ensure they are completely dry.
Avoid Paper Towels: While convenient, paper towels can leave behind lint and fibers that may stick to the glass surface.Place your glass toy on a clean, dry surface such as a towel or drying rack.
Ensure it is positioned in a way that allows air to circulate around it freely. Leaving it to air dry helps to eliminate any residual moisture that the cloth may not have absorbed. If available, a drying stand specifically designed for sex toys can help maintain the toy’s shape and ensure thorough air circulation.
Do not use direct heat sources like a hairdryer or place the toy near a heater to speed up the drying process. Excessive heat can cause thermal shock and potentially damage the glass.
How to Store Glass Toys
Improper storage of glass toys can cause unexpected damage.Ensure the glass toy is thoroughly cleaned and completely dry before storing it. Any residual moisture can lead to bacterial growth or mold. Place the glass toy in a soft, padded storage bag or a dedicated box, and store it in a cool, dry environment away from direct sunlight or extreme temperatures. (Although Funzze glass toys come with their own storage bags, we recommend wrapping the toy in a clean handkerchief or sock before placing it in the storage bag.). Always store your glass toys separately from other toys, especially those made from silicone, rubber, or jelly. These materials can react with each other, potentially causing damage.Additional Tips:
- Do not place heavy objects on top of the storage pouch or box. Glass toys, while durable, can still be vulnerable to pressure and impact, which may cause them to crack or break.
- Place a silica gel pack in the storage container or pouch to help absorb any residual moisture and keep the toy dry. This is especially useful in humid environments.
- When traveling, use a hard case or a well-padded pouch to protect the glass toy from impacts during transport.
