🧼 Cleaning Your Toys — The Xavier & Kitty Way

At Xavier & Kitty Romper Room, we believe cleaning your toys isn’t just about hygiene—it’s about honoring your body, extending the life of your favorite tools, and making pleasure a ritual of care. Think of it like brushing your teeth or washing your face: a small act that makes a big difference in how you feel.

So, let’s walk through it together.

1. Gather Your Supplies

Before you even turn on the faucet, set yourself up for success. You don’t need a fancy kit—just a few basics:

• Mild, fragrance‑free soap or a dedicated toy cleaner
• Warm water (comfortably warm, never boiling)
• A soft, lint‑free cloth or clean paper towels
• A pouch, bag, or box for storage

💡 Why this matters: Having everything ready makes the process smooth and stress‑free. It also helps you avoid skipping steps because you’re hunting for a towel at the last minute.

2. Inspect Before You Clean

Take a moment to really look at your toy. Run your fingers along the surface. Do you see any cracks, discoloration, or loose seams? If so, it’s time to retire that toy.

💡 Why this matters: Even tiny nicks can trap bacteria. Your body deserves toys that are safe, smooth, and reliable. Think of this as a wellness check‑up for your pleasure tools.

3. The Cleaning Process

Here’s where the magic happens.

• Rinse: Hold your toy under warm running water to remove surface debris.
• Wash: Apply a small amount of soap or toy cleaner to your cloth. Gently wipe every surface—shaft, base, buttons, crevices—using circular motions.
• Rinse Again: Make sure all soap is gone. Residue can irritate sensitive skin.
• Optional Disinfect: For non‑porous toys (silicone, glass, stainless steel), you can go the extra mile. Soak in a 10% bleach solution for 5 minutes, or boil glass/metal toys for 3–5 minutes. Just be sure to check the manufacturer’s instructions first.

💡 Why this matters: A thorough clean keeps your toys body‑safe and ready for your next adventure.

4. Material‑Specific Tips

Not all toys are created equal—different materials need different care.

• Silicone: Stick to water‑based lubes and gentle cleaners. Some silicone toys can be boiled, but always check the brand’s guidance.
• Glass & Metal: These are the easiest to sanitize. Boil them or pop them in the dishwasher (top rack, no soap).
• Electronic or Vibe‑Enabled Toys: Never submerge the charging port or battery compartment. Instead, wipe carefully with a damp cloth and dry right away.

💡 Why these matter: Treating each material properly ensures your toy lasts longer and stays safe to use.

5. Drying & Storage

After cleaning, pat your toy dry with a lint‑free cloth or paper towel. Then let it air‑dry completely before storing.

• Store each toy in its own pouch or container.
• Keep them in a cool, dust‑free drawer.
• Avoid tossing them all together—materials can react with each other over time.

💡 Why these matter: Proper storage prevents mold, mildew, and material breakdown. Plus, it feels good to open a drawer and see your toys neatly tucked away, ready for play.

6. Routine Maintenance

Think of this as your toy care rhythm:

• Clean before and after every use.
• Recharge or replace batteries before storing.
• Inspect regularly—if you see wear, it’s time to upgrade.

💡 Why this matter: A little consistency goes a long way. Your toys will last longer, and your body will thank you.
