Protect Your Investment — And Your Health
A premium silicone toy is an investment in your wellbeing. Proper cleaning and storage not only protects your health but also extends the life of your product significantly. This guide covers everything you need to know to keep your Pygmalion products in perfect condition.
Why Cleaning Matters
Even with non-porous platinum silicone, regular cleaning is essential. Bacteria, lubricant residue, and body fluids can accumulate on the surface and cause irritation or infection if not removed properly. The good news: platinum silicone is one of the easiest materials to clean thoroughly.
Step-by-Step Cleaning Guide
After Every Use
- Rinse immediately with warm water to remove surface residue
- Apply mild soap (unscented, antibacterial) and lather gently over the entire surface
- Rinse thoroughly — ensure no soap residue remains
- Pat dry with a clean, lint-free cloth or let air dry completely
- Store properly in a clean pouch or box away from direct sunlight
Deep Cleaning (Weekly or After Shared Use)
Platinum silicone can be fully sterilized using any of these methods:
- Boiling: Submerge in boiling water for 3–5 minutes (non-motorized products only)
- Dishwasher: Top rack, no detergent, hot water cycle (non-motorized only)
- 10% bleach solution: Soak for 10 minutes, rinse thoroughly
- UV sterilizer: Ideal for motorized products — safe and effective
Important: Never boil or submerge motorized products (vibrators, thrusting toys). Use a damp cloth with mild soap or a UV sterilizer instead.
Lubricant Compatibility
This is critical: always use water-based lubricant with silicone products. Silicone-based lubricants can chemically bond with the silicone surface, causing degradation over time. Oil-based lubricants can also damage the material and are harder to clean.
- ✓ Water-based lubricant — always safe
- ✗ Silicone-based lubricant — avoid
- ✗ Oil-based lubricant — avoid
Storage Best Practices
- Store each product separately to prevent silicone-on-silicone contact (can cause surface degradation)
- Use the original packaging or a dedicated storage pouch
- Keep away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures
- Ensure the product is completely dry before storing to prevent mold
- Store charging cables separately to avoid tangling or damage
Charging & Battery Care
- Charge fully before first use
- Don't leave products charging overnight repeatedly
- Store with a partial charge (around 50%) if not using for extended periods
When to Replace Your Product
With proper care, a platinum silicone product can last for years. Replace if you notice: surface tears or cuts, unusual odors that don't wash away, motor malfunction, or any change in surface texture.
