For rubber materials, since their composition is not always known or may contain phthalates, chemicals which have been shown to be harmful to your health, it is recommended to use condoms with these types of toys.

For cyberskin (which is often used for dildos假阳具 — a toy shaped like a penis) and vinyl, wash with warm water only. Air dry and powder a small amount with cornstarch to keep them from getting sticky.

Nylon harnesses绑带 — straps that hold a toy on the body and toys can be machine or hand washed with a mild anti-bacterial soap.

To clean Leather it is best to wipe leather products with a damp, soapy cloth or with leather cleaner. Do not soak leather. After cleaning, you may recondition your toy using a leather conditioner. Protect metal parts from tarnish by applying a coating of clear nail polish.

To clean Wood, use an antibacterial soap and hot water or a disinfectant toy cleaner available through most stores that sell sex toys. If you use a wooden paddle or a cane and engage in severe sessions that were to draw blood, scrub with a brush (a hard toothbrush would work) to make sure the cleaner gets into nooks and crannies, let it sit for a few minutes, rinse and let dry.

I found most of this information on the Internet so always do some research when you get a new toy. Some toys come with cleaning instructions but those that don’t you may have to do your own research. Best wishes!
