How to Clean Your Precious Silicone Companion: A Comprehensive Care Guide

The silicone companion is not only a carrier of emotional support but also a daily item that requires careful care. Regular cleaning not only extends its lifespan but also ensures hygiene and safety during use. Here are the cleaning steps based on professional advice to help you easily maintain the cleanliness and health of your beloved companion.

I. Why is cleaning so important?

Silicone material is soft and skin-friendly, but it is prone to adsorbing dust, bacteria and residual body fluids. Failure to clean it regularly may lead to:

Bacterial growth: May cause skin allergies or infection risks.

Material aging: Stains penetrating can accelerate the hardening or cracking of the silicone.

Odor generation: Residues fermenting produce unpleasant odors.

It is recommended to clean immediately after each use and perform a deep care at least once a week.

II. Preparation of cleaning tools

Choose a mild and non-irritating cleaner to avoid damaging the silicone:

Basic tools: Warm water, neutral soap (such as baby bath lotion) or dedicated silicone cleaner.

Auxiliary tools: Soft-bristled brush, lint-free soft cloth, disinfectant spray (75% medical alcohol).

Prohibited: Do not use strong acid/alkali cleaners, bleach water, hot water (over 40°C will deform).

Three, Five-step Deep Cleaning Process

Surface rinsing:

Rinse off the remaining substances on the surface with warm water (around 30°C), focusing on the crevices and textured areas.

Gentle scrubbing:

Dilute the neutral soap and use a soft cloth or soft-bristled brush to gently scrub the entire body. Avoid vigorous rubbing, especially for joints and orifices, where cotton swabs should be used for meticulous cleaning.

Complete sterilization:

After rinsing, spray medical alcohol (avoiding electronic components), and let it stand for 3 minutes to kill bacteria. If there is no alcohol, a 1:10 solution of white vinegar can be used as a substitute.

Secondary rinsing:

Rinse repeatedly with running water until there is no greasy feeling, and ensure that no cleaning agent remains.

Drying and Maintenance:

Absorb moisture: Gently pat the surface with a lint-free towel, avoid vigorous wiping.

Fully dry: Place it in a cool and ventilated area to air dry naturally (6-8 hours). Avoid direct sunlight or drying.

Anti-stick treatment: After drying, apply a thin layer of food-grade talcum powder to reduce the stickiness on the surface.

IV. Storage and Daily Maintenance Tips

Storage environment: Store it in the original packaging box, away from direct sunlight and high temperatures (such as near the heater), and avoid squeezing and deformation.

Deodorizing trick: If there is an odor, soak it in baking soda water for 10 minutes and then rinse.

Regular inspection: Check monthly for any cracks or discoloration, repair promptly to prevent deterioration.

V. Common Questions and Answers

Q: What to do if the stains are stubborn?

A: Use a cotton swab to dab with diluted makeup remover oil, then follow the cleaning process.

Q: Can the inside be rinsed with water?

A: If the product is not waterproof, only clean the outside with a damp cloth, and the internal electronic components need to be sent for repair.

Q: How often should it be cleaned?

A: Clean frequently if used frequently; clean at least once a month when not in use. Conclusion
