As creators of hand-poured, platinum-cured silicone products, we at Erotixxx Toys understand the importance of proper care. Let’s explore why platinum silicone deserves special attention and how to maintain these premium adult products for years of safe enjoyment.
Why Platinum Silicone is the Gold Standard
When it comes to body-safe sex toys, platinum-cured silicone sits at the top of the hierarchy. But what makes this material so special, and why does it deserve specific cleaning protocols?
Benefits of Platinum-Cured Silicone
Platinum silicone earns its reputation through superior quality and safety features. Unlike other materials that might contain harmful chemicals, platinum-cured silicone is:
- Non-porous, preventing bacteria from penetrating the surface
- Hypoallergenic, making it suitable for sensitive skin
- Temperature-responsive without degrading
- Odorless and tasteless
- Extremely durable with proper care
Platinum-cured medical grade silicones are ultra-clean, free of volatile byproducts, and comply with USP Class VI and FDA standards, ensuring safety and purity in applications requiring biocompatibility (SSP, 2025).
Health and Safety Advantages
The health benefits of choosing platinum silicone sex toys cannot be overstated. Medical-grade platinum silicone is highly stable, maintaining its safety and purity after extensive cleaning and use, as confirmed by its widespread adoption in medical implants and food-contact applications (Silicone.co.uk, 2022).
When properly cleaned, platinum silicone toys provide:
- Reduced risk of infections and irritation
- No harmful chemical exposure
- Peace of mind for those with chemical sensitivities
- Compatibility with most body-safe lubricants
- Exceptional durability that justifies the premium price point

What You’ll Need to Clean Platinum Silicone Sex Toys
Before diving into the cleaning process, gather these essential supplies to properly care for your platinum silicone toys:
Safe Cleaning Products
- Fragrance-free, mild soap (avoid antibacterial varieties)
- Warm water
- Clean microfiber towels or lint-free cloths
- Specialized sex toy cleaner (optional but recommended)
- 70% isopropyl alcohol (for sanitizing non-electronic components)
- Clean storage containers or bags
For electronic toys with platinum silicone exteriors, you’ll want to use cleaners specifically labeled as safe for these devices, as submersion could damage internal components.
What to Avoid
Just as important as knowing what to use is understanding what to avoid when cleaning platinum silicone sex toys:
- Harsh soaps with fragrances or antibacterial agents
- Bleach or hydrogen peroxide
- Alcohol above 70% concentration
- Abrasive scrubbing tools or brushes
- Oil-based products (which can degrade silicone)
- Sharing cleaning tools between toys without sanitizing
Dr. Emily Morse, sexual health expert and host of Sex With Emily podcast, warns: “Many common household cleaners contain chemicals that can break down silicone over time, potentially creating micro-abrasions that harbor bacteria and compromise the material’s integrity.”
Step-by-Step Cleaning Instructions
Now that you understand the importance of proper cleaning and have gathered your supplies, let’s walk through the exact process for maintaining your platinum silicone sex toys.
Daily Cleaning
- For regular use, follow these simple steps after each use:
- Wash your hands thoroughly before handling your toy
- Rinse the toy with warm (not hot) water to remove surface residue
- Apply a small amount of mild soap or specialized toy cleaner
- Gently clean all surfaces, paying special attention to textured areas
- Rinse thoroughly until no soap residue remains
- Pat dry with a clean, lint-free cloth
- Allow to air dry completely before storage
This basic cleaning routine should be performed after every use to prevent buildup of body fluids, lubricants, or other substances that could harbor bacteria.
Deep Cleaning and Sanitizing
How to sanitize platinum silicone toys for a more thorough clean? Perform these steps weekly or when switching between partners or different body areas:
For non-electronic platinum silicone toys:
- Clean with soap and water as described above
- Boil in water for 3-5 minutes (ensure toy is 100% silicone)
- Alternative method: Wipe down with 70% isopropyl alcohol
- Rinse thoroughly with clean water
- Allow to dry completely
For electronic platinum silicone toys:
- Follow the daily cleaning routine with extra attention
- Use a specialized toy cleaner approved for electronic devices
- Wipe external silicone surfaces with a cloth dampened with 70% isopropyl alcohol
- Ensure no liquid enters charging ports or electronic components
- Air dry completely before charging or storing
Research indicates that boiling non-electronic, pure platinum silicone toys for 3–5 minutes is an industry-recommended method to achieve thorough sanitization (Yahoo Life, 2023).
Drying and Storage
Proper storage is just as crucial as cleaning when it comes to maintaining your platinum silicone sex toys:
- Ensure toys are completely dry before storage
- Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight
- Use dedicated storage containers or bags (ideally microfiber or cotton)
- Keep toys separated to prevent material interaction
- Remove batteries from electronic toys during long-term storage
- Check toys periodically for any signs of damage or degradation
Our realistic platinum silicone dildos come with custom storage pouches specifically designed to protect your investment while maintaining discretion.
Common Mistakes to Avoid
Even with the best intentions, many users make these common mistakes when cleaning platinum silicone sex toys:
Using the wrong soap: Antibacterial soaps might seem logical but can contain harsh chemicals that degrade silicone over time.
Improper drying: Storing toys while still damp creates a breeding ground for mold and bacteria.
Shared storage: Allowing different materials to touch can cause chemical reactions that damage platinum silicone.
Skipping the pre-clean rinse: Always rinse toys before applying soap to remove surface residue that might become abrasive during cleaning.
Using oil-based lubricants: These can break down platinum silicone over time. Always use water-based lubricants with silicone toys.

FAQs About Platinum Silicone Sex Toy Care
Can I use silicone lubricant with platinum silicone toys?
Generally, it’s best to avoid silicone-based lubricants with silicone toys as they can potentially degrade the material. Water-based lubricants are the safest option for use with platinum silicone toys. If you must use silicone lube, perform a patch test on a small, inconspicuous area first.
How often should I deep clean my platinum silicone toys?
Deep clean your platinum silicone toys at least once a month, after sharing with partners, or when switching between different body areas. For regular solo use, a thorough cleaning after each use is sufficient for maintaining hygiene.
Will boiling damage my platinum-cured silicone toy?
High-quality platinum-cured silicone toys without electronic components can safely be boiled for 3-5 minutes for sanitization. However, toys with electronic components, hollow cores, or attached non-silicone parts should never be boiled. Always check manufacturer guidelines.
How can I tell if my platinum silicone toy is deteriorating?
Inspect your toys regularly for changes in texture, color, or the appearance of a tacky surface. Quality platinum silicone should maintain its original feel and appearance for years with proper care. Any signs of degradation suggest either inferior materials or improper care.
Is it safe to share platinum silicone toys with partners?
While platinum silicone is non-porous and can be sanitized more effectively than other materials, sharing toys still carries some risk. If sharing, use condoms or thoroughly sanitize between users. For anal use, always clean extensively before using elsewhere.
