Toy cleaner or plain soap?
02/11/2013
I have never tried a toy cleaner. Since I have soap and water on hand, it's just easier!

Soap and water has never bothered me. I wash toys after each use.

Soap and water. I sterilise toys that I share.

I just use soap, sometimes alcohol. Haven't tried cleaners, just wipes, but I always wash after using a wipe anyway.

Most of the time I use plain old soap and water, if the toy is 100% silicone and I want to get it really clean I boil it. I have a toy cleaner that I sometimes use too, it has a nice citrus-y smell.

I used to only use toy cleaner and water because I thought it was the only way, and never could find good antibacterial soap. Now I may just do soap and water. Before, sex stores always tried to sell me on toy cleaner and water, but now on EF I've been seeing everyone just uses soap

Soap and water just feels cleaner to me...

I use both!

I have never actually tried toy cleaner. Soap and water is readily available and it has always worked for me.

I'm happy with anti-bacterial soap. I went through a period where I was obsessed with proper toy cleaner, but now I'm not fussed.

Whichever I have at the moment. Usually water and soap

I tend to use soap and water after and babywipes before (as most of my toys are lint magnets and need a good wipe down). I very recently had a reviewer who used to work for an OBGYN tell me that it isn't safe to use soap and water. I must say I've never had a bad experience with that and I've never heard that before. I'm a little disappointed to not see her on this thread. Any thoughts from any edenites, anyone else hear that soap maybe bad?

Anti-bacterial hand soap and water seems to be good enough. Also, vinegar is an effective, mild anti-bacterial, and it is environmentally friendly. Isopropyl (rubbing) alcohol is also a great disinfectant, and you used to be able to buy single use cotton swabs soaked in alcohol. I have actually used all of these, but the anti-bacterial hand soap is my favorite. Be a little careful with the alcohol though, it might not play nice with some toy materials, and you might wreck your toy.
But wait, then you'll just HAVE to buy MORE new toys!
Problem solved. less

Soap and water. Sometimes you can have a reaction to the toy cleaner

Always use antibacterial soap and every do often boil the ones that are bailable. For the ones that get some odor use a little bleach solution.

Toy cleaner gets expensive when soap and water is readily available. Never thought to use isopropyl alcohol or vinegar until I read this posting, I def think both are potentially good ideas. I imagine a food grade hydrogen peroxide might work as well, has anyone tried using that?

I don't have toy cleaners. I have the Eden wipes that you get for free when you make orders, but those aren't really "toy cleaners" (I use them more for personal wipes). But when I feel lazy I'll use them for a quick wipe of the toy until I can clean my toy with soap and water.

Normally, I just clean my toys in the sink when I go to clean up. It's easier for me- I know it's being cleaned and it's really simple for me.
I'm thinking of purchasing a toy cleaner to try it out, but I'll probably just stick to soap and water.

I don't really have any plain soap that I would feel safe using on my toys. I have a lot of scented items and feel that I they wouldn't do well on toys. I don't buy antibacterial soaps because I feel they're unnecessary - I'm already washing myself, which is already getting rid of some bacteria, and "antibacterial" products just kill off the good stuff that the body uses to protect itself.
I tend to use toy cleansers in combination with a good rinse in the sink. I haul all the toys into the bathroom, turn the faucet on with warm or hot water, moisten the toy, spray with cleanser, rub down, rinse the toy, dry it with a lint-free cloth, and put it away.

I use anti-bacterial soap. It's much easier to keep that one hand than to worry about running out or toy cleaner. Plus, it's much cheaper!

I prefer wipes, but otherwise would use soap and water.

toy cleaner is better and if you are using silicon base vibrators, then I recommend you to use water based cleaner. I generally clean my SVAKOM toys that I bought from link with water based cleaner.

For now, I've just been using soap and water. But I recently ordered some anti-bacterial toy spray.

On a plus side toy cleaner works really well to clean makeup brushes.

Toy cleaner or a dish washer. Depends on the material of the toy.
