Since my are only used personally by either myself or my partner, I wash them in hot, soapy water after use since I don't normally want to take the time to boil them or put them in with my dishes. I have done this for a couple years and have not had any problems, so I imagine that as long as your toys are not being shared with multiple people this would be plenty sanitary enough.

I also just wash my toys in soap and water. I have some boilable ones, but have never felt the need to do that, since my husband and I are the only ones who may be using them.

There are toy cleaners for sale, but they may cause irritation in some people.

Anything may cause irritation, though. The only thing you can do is try.

I like antibacterial soap! You can also use a 10 percent bleach solutuin, although some store brands are more dilute than Clorox....

I also go with old fashioned soap and water. I only use this toy with my girlfriend so I don't feel the need to boil it. Also we both have or own ends anyways. Based on what I have read (granted you can't believe everything you read) silicone does not hold onto bacteria like other materials so you shouldn't need to do anything extra-ordinary to keep silicone toys clean.

Toy cleaners can cause irritation because after you spray them on and let them sit for 10-20 seconds, then you MUST rinse them thoroughly. If there's any residue then it's putting soap inside of you and that will cause irritation. Just rinse twice

Soap and water definitely works well especially if you're not sharing outside you and a partner. With silicone I'm pretty sure you can also microwave it...just FYI. I remember reading that on a toy I got, but I still haven't given it a shot.

I really like the antibacterial liquid soaps. Wet, scrub,(as long as it takes to sing the entire Happy Birthday song, and airdry. Wash also before using.

I really appreciate all the information here. Learning a lot!

Also, the image of someone singing happy birthday while washing their dildos makes me smile.

I wash in warm/hot soapy water in the bathroom sink dry immediately and put away!
