Survival Manual: How to Clean & Care for Your Silicone Toys

You just received your ClimaxLab order. You open the box, admire the shine of the silicone, feel the firmness... it is perfect. But did you know you can destroy this masterpiece in less than 24 hours if you make a single mistake?

Platinum Silicone is an incredibly resistant material (it withstands heat, pulling, and time), but it has its own Kryptonite.

Today we teach you the 3 Commandments of Care so that your collection stays with you for a lifetime, just like on day one.

1. Enemy 1: Silicone Lubricant

This is the most common and fatal error. Never, under any circumstances, use silicone-based lubricant with silicone toys.

• The Science: Chemistry is simple: "Like dissolves like." If you apply silicone oil to a silicone dildo, the surface of the toy will react, become sticky, start to "melt," and lose its texture forever. It cannot be fixed.

• The Solution: Always use Water-Based Lubricant. It is safe, easy to clean, and respects the integrity of your Relics.

2. The Cleaning Ritual (Water, Soap and Fire)

Hygiene is part of the pleasure. Since it has no pores, cleaning our toys is easy, but there are levels.

• Basic Cleansing (Before and after use): Warm water and neutral soap. Rub well with your hands (avoid abrasive sponges/scrubbers that can scratch the shiny surface) and rinse.

• Drying (Important): Use a lint-free towel or let it air dry. If you use toilet paper, it will stick, and your toy will look like a "breaded cutlet."

• The "Renovation" (The Artisan's Trick): If over time you notice the toy attracts a lot of dust, here is a workshop secret: sprinkle a little Cornstarch over the dry toy and spread it. It will be silky smooth and matte.

🔥 Expert Level: Sterilization: Since we use Medical Grade Platinum Silicone, you can boil your toys. Submerge them in a pot of boiling water for 3-5 minutes to kill any bacteria. Warning: Do not let the toy touch the bottom of the pot directly (use a cloth or rack) to avoid burns from contact with the hot metal.

 

3. Storage: No "Drawer Orgies"

Throwing all your toys together in a "junk drawer" is a bad idea, especially if you mix materials.

• The Rule of Solitude: Silicone does not get along well with cheap plastic materials (like TPE or Jelly). If they touch for a long time, they can chemically react and fuse together.

• Individual Bags: Keep each Relic in its own cloth bag (cotton or satin). This allows the material to "breathe," protects it from dust, and avoids unwanted friction.

Conclusion

Caring for a handcrafted piece requires no effort, just knowledge. If you follow these basic rules (Soap & Water, Water Lube, and Separate Bags), your ClimaxLab toy will be, literally, eternal.

Treat your monsters well, and they will return the favor.
