There's a few different methods I employ - I normally use a foaming toy cleaner and hot water, though sometimes I'll use normal soap. If I'm traveling or too lazy to get out of bed after playing, I'll use toy wipes. Every so often, I gather up all my silicone toys and give them all a good boil.

I usually wash them with soap and water or toy cleaner, occasionally bleach them, and have boiled some non-vibrating toys a few times.

For everyday cleaning, soap and water. Once a month or so, I boil all of my toys, though.

I like to use anti-bac foaming hand soap from B&B Works and then boil the toy afterwards.

Soap and hot water. Occasionally I'll boil them up... mmmm... dildo soup!

I usually just use soap and water. I've never had the need to sanitize a toy before, but I would want to buy a new pan, specifically for my dildos. I want it to be pink, too. The idea of using a toy that I've used for food on my dildos grosses me out.

I boil, use soap and water, toy cleaner, some times with bleach, and usually scrub with a tooth brush. On occasion I use a baking soda paste for toys that retain smells.

Depends on where that toy is going, and where's it been. I boil my buttplugs every now and again, and only boil my silicone dildo if I've used it for anal. Other than that, I just use soap and water.

Is that how you get rid of smells?! All of my silicone toys retain smells, and I have a hell of a time trying to get them out... I'll have to try that!

Never boiled a toy, but I suppose a deep cleaning like that is good from time to time.

I just use soap and hot water. I am not sharing my toys with anyone so I see no point bleaching or boiling my toys.

Hah, I guess I don't need to describe what I do, you just described it perfectly!. For the bleach, I use Clorox Anywhere Spray which is already diluted & let that sit on the surfaces for a while. I even have a new toothbrush that I only use for toys! I have boiled some silicone dildo's, too, but never used the dishwasher. (And I never use anything with Triclosan in it!)
