i'm just worried i can't get them clean afterwards, or that anything i use might break down the silicone.
is dr bonner's safe and mild enough to use on any of the syn models?
(i think i may have destroyed my original helix syn with something else (not sure what) that i used to clean it. it never looks like new.)
suggestions?
Dr. Bronner's is some pretty intense stuff, I remember reading what you were supposed to do if you got it in your eyes. I would suggest some antibacterial hand soap, or toy cleaner.
I use ordinary hand soap and hand sanitizer spray afterwards - works like a charm. Toy cleaner is basically the same I guess (70% alcohol & 30% water), just with a higher price-tag. It's silicone safe and I had no problems so far.
Silicone toys are rather sturdy and can be boiled (also known as Dildo-Soup 🙂 ) or put in the dishwasher. I'm not sure about the plastic of the Aneros toys though, so I wouldn't recommend to boil them.
I use dawn anti-bacterial soap and a old toothbrush. Scrub with hot water and soap lather using the toothbrush. Then let them sit in the soapy water for about 10 mins. Rinse them off & dry. All done and ready for the next session.
I use Aneros Wipes right after a session. It’s anti-bacterial wipes. I also put my Aneros in UV light afterwards to get rid of all germs.
I use dish soap or anti-bacterial hand soap on all my silicon toys, never had a problem or seen any deterioration.
ok, thank you all for chiming in.
your suggestions helped BIG TIME. the toothbrush did amazing things: i didn't mess up my helix syn at all. i did, however, learn some very upsetting truths about where i live (like, i can't even spell this, but here goes: euw-uh-uh-uh-ugh. twitch twitch)
again, thank you.
