So, this whole cleaning issue has really got me thinking. I try to clean my toys often (once a week if used that week) but sometimes I let a cleaning go in between uses. How often do you clean your toys?

I mostly clean mine after each use and when I first receive the toy or if there's an odd smell to it. (Not from like..using it, but a couple times packaging has left an odd smell on the toy.) I know I should clean them more, but as it stands, I've never had a problem with it.

Most get cleaned just after. I have some that seem to attract lint like cowpies attract flies so they need to be washed before! And when they are new too - I don't like odors!
02/06/2011
I always clean mine after every use.
02/06/2011
Before and after... sometimes I will skip the before, especially if I have guests or my housemates are home or haven't gone to bed yet, but for the most part, before and after.

I clean them really well when I first get them and then after every use. I store then in cloth bags, so they stay clean until the next usage.
Once a month or two I do a thorough cleaning of all my toys, bleach or alcohol or toy cleaner, I get out the toothpick or Q Tips to get in the crevices. HOT HOT water. I boil the ones which can take that, in a bag made for sterilizing breast pump parts.

I always wash it when I first get it. Say, I use it 2-3 times a week, I will wash it once very well and then spray it with a toy cleaner the other times. I always rinse it before using though.

When received then after every use.

Clean after each use and before the first use when just received.

I usually clean them before use too, but I don't use soap before use just in case it doesn't all get washed off. I always clean them right afterwards.

I usually clean after each use, some toys that are non-porous I end up cleaning before use. i.e. not wanting to get up and clean it I leave it to clean the next day and that ends up being the start of the next session; change what would be an after use cleaning into a before use cleaning. I also clean the toy when I first get it.

I clean mine with a toy cleaner after every use!

I'll usually be lazy and clean it later. But definitely after each use. This is VERY important. So I am happy to see the poll results thus far. Sometimes I will need to clean before use, just out of different materials and not having stored them properly.
Oh, and I count using toy cleaner as cleaning.

I clean after each use. Sometimes I'm lazy and don't do it til the next day, but I always clean it before using again. I only clean before use when it's a new toy, or if it got dusty or something.
02/06/2011
Only before if I can't remember if I washed it or not because my lover and I passed out right after. :3

I always wash them when I get something new, just because. I wash after (well, I might fall asleep first!) and sometimes before - it depends on which toy it is for the 'before cleaning'. Most of my silicone toys get washed before as well as after because they attract lint like crazy.
02/06/2011
It depends. Both before and after if they're new, or they tend to pick up lint. Otherwise, always right after use.
02/06/2011
usually before and after, but always after
02/06/2011
I wash mine thoroughly after I use them and rinse them before I use them again in case they have picked up lint.
02/06/2011
I usually clean them both before and after use, however sometimes (mostly with my glass toys) I will not clean them before use.
02/06/2011
I clean before and after just incase it has had anything on it without my knowledge
02/06/2011
If it is a lint magnet type of silicone I clean before and after but if it is my glass toy (or plastic toys) I only clean after.
02/06/2011
When it coems to boiling plugs or silicone toys, I rarely do it as I don't share my toys but once every 6 months, they get a routine boil.
02/06/2011
I clean mine before and after each use. However, I looked at the choices too quickly and voted for "after each use" instead of the first option.

It seems the biggest problem are toys that pick up lint. I generally clean them after each use, but not always immediately after. Some toys have a gray line of what is after and what is before. But I do try to clean my toys in-between uses.

I used to be bad about cleaning my toys when I first started using a vibrator, but now I am becoming diligent about doing it each time I use them. For my safety and health as well as the long life of the toy
02/07/2011
After each use for most, but the ones that don't get near bodily fluids (nipple clamps, most bondage gear, etc.) only get cleaned when it gets obviously soiled.
02/07/2011
Usually after each use. I do it before if I see that there might be some gunk or lint on it.
