Toy care & storage
Ready for your next night in.
Look after your favourites and they’ll be ready for your next night in. A few simple care habits can save you a lot of fuss later.

Find the style that suits you

Toy cleaners
Useful when you want a cleaner suited to your toy’s material and its recommended care routine. Compare the directions, not just the scent or bottle size.
Before you choose: Some need rinsing or a specified contact time. Follow both labels and don’t assume a spray sterilises a toy, removes every risk or makes a damaged surface usable.
Toy storage
A pouch or case gives your favourites a clean home between uses. Choose by internal dimensions, with room for accessories without bending or squeezing the toy.
Before you choose: Let everything dry first. Check whether items need separate compartments or bags, and keep charging leads identifiable. A lock is a practical preference; ventilation and correct storage still matter.
A little more know-how
Check before you reach for the tap
Find the maker’s cleaning instructions and water rating. A rechargeable toy isn’t automatically waterproof, and splash-resistant doesn’t mean safe to submerge. Check removable parts and charging-port covers too. If the instructions are missing, identify the exact model before choosing a cleaning method.
Look over the surface while you’re there. Cracks, peeling, exposed wiring or other damage are reasons to stop using the toy and contact the maker or retailer, rather than trying to clean the problem away.
Keep the routine simple
-
Switch off and disconnect
Unplug the charger and remove detachable parts only as the instructions allow.
-
Use the recommended method
Clean before and after use, following the toy maker’s directions for washing or wiping. If using a cleaner, check that it suits the material and follow its contact time and rinsing instructions. Don’t assume all sprays are leave-on products.
-
Pay attention to details
Clean seams, grooves and removable components as directed. Keep water out of areas the maker says must stay dry.
-
Dry completely
Let washed parts dry fully before reassembly or storage. Charging contacts must be dry before you reconnect the cable.
Give it a home of its own
Choose a clean, dry pouch or case with enough room for the toy without bending it awkwardly. Store items separately if their material-care instructions require it, and keep them away from heat and direct sunlight. A damp toy zipped into a case hasn’t finished its clean-up.
Keep the correct cable with each toy, but don’t force connectors or wind the lead tightly around it. For a lockable case, check its internal dimensions against your largest item before buying.
A few quick answers
Can every toy go in boiling water or the dishwasher?
No. Heat, motors, coatings and different materials change what is suitable. Only use those methods when the manufacturer explicitly permits them for that exact item.
Does toy cleaner sterilise a toy?
Don’t assume it does. Cleaning and sterilising are different processes. Follow the product’s stated purpose and instructions rather than treating a spray as a guarantee.
What about soft stroker sleeves?
Follow the sleeve maker’s specific cleaning, drying and maintenance instructions. Don’t assume care advice for a solid silicone toy applies to a soft sleeve.
What should I have ready for our first night with a new toy?
Read its care directions, have a suitable cleaning method ready and choose somewhere clean to let it dry. If it needs charging, do that beforehand. A little preparation leaves you free to enjoy the evening.
How do I keep everything discreet without losing the charger?
Choose a pouch or case that fits the toy and its accessories, and keep the correct cable with it. Dry everything fully before putting it away. A case with separate compartments can make your next night in much easier to organise.
