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

You've just received your ClimaxLab order. You open the box, admire the silicone's sheen, feel the firmness... it's perfect. But did you know you could destroy this piece in under 24 hours with a single mistake?

Platinum Silicone is an incredibly resilient material (it withstands heat, stretching and the test of time), but it has its own Kryptonite.

Today we teach you the 3 Commandments of Care so your collection stays with you for life, exactly as it was on day one.

1. Enemy No. 1: Silicone-Based Lubricant

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

• The Science: The chemistry is simple: “like dissolves like”. If you apply silicone oil to a silicone dildo, the toy’s surface will react, become sticky, start to “melt” and lose its texture permanently. There is no fix.

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

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

Hygiene is part of pleasure. Since our toys have no pores, cleaning them is very easy — but there are levels to it.

• Basic Cleaning (Before and after use): Warm water and mild soap. Scrub well with your hands (avoid abrasive sponges that could 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 dildo will end up looking like a breaded cutlet.

• The Cornstarch “Renew”: If over time you notice the toy attracts a lot of dust, here’s an artisan’s trick: sprinkle a little cornstarch (Maizena) over the dry toy and spread it around. It will feel as smooth as silk with no shine.

🔥 Expert Level: Sterilisation 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 all bacteria. Watch out! Don’t 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: Don’t Stage an “orgy” in the Drawer

Storing all your toys together in a messy drawer is a bad idea, especially if you mix materials.

• The Solitude Rule: Silicone doesn’t get along with other cheap plastic materials (like TPE or jelly). If they touch for a long time, they can chemically react and fuse together.

• Individual Bags: Store each Relic in its own fabric bag (cotton or satin). This lets the material “breathe”, protects it from dust and prevents unwanted friction.

Conclusion

Caring for an artisan piece requires no effort, only knowledge. If you follow these basic rules (water and soap, water-based lubricant and separate bags), your ClimaxLab toy will be, literally, eternal.

Treat your monsters well, and they’ll return the favour.
