The B&A Two (Or Three) Step.
This is a wonderful product that everyone owning a toy should have in their arsenal. It's quick and easy to use!Published: June 1, 2011
Pros:
Discreet, body safe.
Cons:
None.
I love Before & After Adult Toy Cleaner. It is very easy to use, has a fresh, clean scent, and blends in nicely with my body sprays on my dresser. The packaging that I have is different from the picture shown here. My bottle has a blue/green sticker with splashing water on the front which, without looking closely at the writing, could look like a bottle of body splash from your favorite bath and body store. This makes it a very discreet product.
The ingredients are: water, cocamidopropyl PD-dimonium chloride phosphate (that's a mouthful!), benzyl alcohol, disodium EDTA (preservative), and fragrance. There are no glycerins or parabens, and there are no soaps or artificial colors, so this toy cleaner is body-safe and also safe to use on any toys that can get splashed.
There are only two steps necessary: 1. Spray it on and 2. Wipe it off. I tend to follow with a third: Rinse it off. I generally do this just to remove any fuzzy pieces that my washcloth or paper towel might have left behind. This spray is safe for use on any material that can get wet, from silicone to the dreaded jelly, acrylic to glass, and aluminum to steel. If it can get wet, Before & After Adult Toy Cleaner can clean it.
This is a great cleaner for vibes in particular. Most of my other toys can be thrown in the dishwasher or boiled, but vibes, even if they are waterproof, can be damaged by high heat.
At the time I purchased this, I opted for an eight ounce bottle (which does not meet FAA/TSA carry-on standards), but it also came in a four ounce bottle (which does meet FAA/TSA standards) and individually sealed wipes. The bottles are pump sprays just like your standard body spray.

Still my favorite cleaner. Very easy to use, hardly a scent, not terribly obvious on my counter. I hope it never gets discontinued. I just wish EF would carry the wipe version.

What does before & after do.. before you use it?
-
Is it both a lubricant and a sanitizer? how does that work?
-
It is not a lubricant but merely cleans the toys. When the toy is sitting around, it gathers fungal spores, dust, and bacteria.
-
Before you use it it sits there and looks pretty :P
In theory you're supposed to use it before you use your toys and then after you use your toys to ensure optimal cleanness. At least according to the bottle.

Before & After Toy Cleaner...
-
This one got lots of great reviews, but I've got a couple of questions for all you reviewers who use this. The description says you have to "spray, wipe, then rinse" but most of the reviews say no rinsing required. Can you guys confirm there's no residue if you don't rinse? One review mentioned it didn't clean the crevices of textured toys well. Anyone else have that experience? Would you say it replaces the soap & water routine completely?
-
Nah, it doesn't replace soap and water, in my opinion. It may be because I've used soap and water for so long, but I just don't see the benefit to spraying something and then wiping it off. I find the cleaner hard to wipe off on toys w/ texture, and maybe I'm nuts, but then I don't feel like a toy is really clean. It would do in a pinch, but I don't mind soap and water so that's what I go for 90% of the time.

I like the the idea of toy cleaner but I always wondered what exactly you wipe down with? What's a good cloth for that?

I can't believe that an 8 oz bottle of toy cleaner is against TSA standards! Ugh today's societies. Thanks for the review!
Well, for carry-on. I guess I should specify that!
