Advanced smart cleaner misting toy sanitizer - toy cleanser discontinued by Evolved Novelties - review by phoenixfire

---I'm serious, this stuff gets it ALL out.

Advanced Smart Cleaner foaming toy sanitizer by Evolved Novelties is specifically designed to clean battery operated toys like vibrators. The directions on the back of the bottle clearly tell you how to clean such a toy, so this cleaner's primary purpose is pretty obvious. However, I found that it is also great for cleaning silicone toys (for those of us who want them extra squeaky clean. Germophobe here!).

I bought the 4 ounce bottle. I was looking for something that would travel well, clean lots of types of materials extremely well, and be reasonably discreet, and this cleaner delivers in all those respects. I especially like that there is a clear plastic cap over the top of the pump-action bottle, so that the spray won't leak or dry out. I don't yet own any sex furniture, but I plan on doing so, and would imagine that this product would work well to clean support pillows as well.

To use the spray, you pump a little of it onto a clean, damp washcloth (an ordinary one that you can get from Walmart will do), scrub the toy, and then rinse it with warm water. This takes a bit more time than an antibacterial wipe would, so if you are looking for speed, this may not be the best product for you. However, I find the extra few minutes of work is worth it to me in added peace of mind. I am impressed with this cleaner's ability to get (ahem) dirt off my anal beads as well as sanitizing them. I have been disappointed with the ability of most wipes to remove dirt in the past, so this is an important feature for me.

This cleaner has no particular smell, just as the bottle promises. It is not greasy. It's body safe and claims to be safe for use on all materials, though I might test it on a small area of a leather toy before cleaning the entire thing. (Once I am lucky enough to own some leather, that is.) It's alcohol free, and made in the good old U-S-of A. (For those of you to whom that's important.)

I bought the Advanced Smart Cleaner toy sanitizer by Evolved Novelties as a replacement for the Eden toy and body wipes I had gotten as a free gift with a previous order. I needed a cleaner that would do it all--disinfect all shapes and sizes of toys as thoroughly as possible with minimal effort. Did I mention minimal extra substances like parabens and glycerin? Yeah, I was asking a lot. However, I found that this cleaner delivered. All I needed to do was pump some of the spray on a clean, damp cloth, scrub my toy of choice down, and then rinse it with warm water. This won't work for toys you don't want to get wet, obviously. However, it's fine for use with glass, silicone, and even vibrators and other battery-operated toys as long as you remove those batteries beforehand. (Which you would remember to do, right?)

I chose to buy this product because I knew I would be investing in larger toys down the road, and Eden's wipes just weren't practical for those larger toys. Also, a package of Eden's wipes can dry out, and there aren't many wipes per package if you're an active player. I purchased the Smart Cleaner in the 4 ounce bottle and used it to clean my dildos and anal beads. I love this stuff even more because I know I can also use it for electric toys, which I plan to have plenty of, as well as sex furniture.

My only caveat with this product is that the cleaning agents may not be gentle enough for leather products, though I would be willing to try it based on experience cleaning other toys.

I still like this stuff, but it was a close choice between "I still like it," and "I don't like it anymore." If there had been a, "I don't like it quite as much as I did before," option, I would have chosen that. This cleaner gets stains out just as well as it did when I first got it, and I still think it will be great for use with sex furniture and other larger toys in my growing collection. It's just that it seems like a lot of trouble to use with smaller toys, which is most of my stash at the moment. I may be lazy, but I prefer a cleaner that is a little more one step, wash and go. I'll keep looking for that cleaner!
