Whether you’re new to sex dolls or a seasoned user, cleaning and maintenance are absolutely essential. A well-maintained doll not only enhances the experience but also significantly extends its lifespan. Here are five practical techniques to help you keep your doll fresh, clean, and ready at all times.

1. Choose the Right Cleaning Products

Proper cleaning starts with using the right products. Different materials—TPE or silicone—require different care. Using the wrong products may lead to sticky surfaces, skin damage, or even internal corrosion.

TPE vs. Silicone: Know the Difference

• TPE sex dolls offer a softer, more realistic touch but are more porous and sensitive to moisture and high temperatures.
• Silicone sex dolls are more durable but still require gentle, alcohol-free cleaning agents.

Recommended Products for Safe Cleaning

Safe to Use:

• Warm water (under 30°C)
• Mild, unscented pH-neutral soap
• Specialized sex doll cleaning sprays

Avoid:

• Bleach or strong disinfectants
• Alcohol-based wipes
• Household multi-surface cleaners

2. Clean Intimate Areas After Each Use

The most critical cleaning areas are the mouth, vagina, and anus. Bacteria and fluids can accumulate quickly, leading to odor, mold, or health risks.

Best Practices for Internal Cleaning

Use a rubber bulb (enema bulb) to gently flush the internal cavities with warm water. Repeat the process until the water runs clear. You can add a few drops of gentle soap if needed.

Tip:

After rinsing, use a clean towel to gently pat dry the entrances and let the internal parts air-dry fully before storage.

3. Keep Her Completely Dry

Moisture is the enemy—especially for TPE dolls. Improper drying can lead to mold, unpleasant odors, and even rust in the internal skeleton.

Proper Drying Methods

Use Soft, Absorbent Towels

Avoid using paper towels, which can leave residue. Gently pat the surface rather than rubbing it.

Air Drying Tips

• Lay the doll flat on a clean, dry towel in a well-ventilated room
• Use a fan to speed up drying if necessary
• Avoid direct sunlight or high heat from blow dryers, which can warp the material

4. Apply Renewal Powder Regularly

Many doll owners complain about stickiness, but this can easily be fixed with regular powdering. It keeps the skin silky smooth and prevents dust and hair from sticking.

Why Renewal Powder Matters

• Prevents sticky skin
• Enhances touch and realism
• Reduces static and debris buildup

How to Apply

1. Make sure the doll is completely clean and dry
2. Use a soft brush or your hands to apply powder evenly over the surface
3. Focus on high-friction areas like joints and inner thighs

What Kind of Powder to Use

• Cornstarch (unscented, no talc)
• Specialized sex doll renewal powder
• Avoid baby powder that contains talcum, as it may be harmful

5. Store Your Doll Properly

Storage is more than just “putting her away.” The right environment protects the doll’s shape, skin, and structure over time.

Best Positions for Storage

Ideal Options:

• Lying flat on a mattress or padded surface
• Hanging with factory hook in a closet (make sure joints aren’t stressed)
• Avoid unnatural poses or bent limbs during storage

Storage Accessories

• Soft cotton cloths or clean bed sheets to wrap the body
• Original storage bags
• Avoid using plastic bags or vacuum-sealed containers, which trap moisture

Environmental Conditions

• Dry, well-ventilated, and shaded
• Away from direct sunlight or heat sources
• No damp walls or humid corners

Quick Do’s and Don’ts

DO:

• Clean after every use
• Use dedicated tools for internal cleaning
• Perform a full-body clean and powdering monthly

DON’T:

• Soak your doll in water
• Use hot blow dryers directly on the skin
• Store the doll when it’s still damp
• Keep her in contact with dark or dyed clothing for long periods
