Before & After is a really good toy cleaner that does the job quickly. It has a pleasant scent that isn’t overpowering and is free of dyes. Even though it contains chemicals which I can’t pronounce, and it does have perfume, this cleanser doesn’t irritate my sensitive skin.

The instructions listed on the package are simple: “1. Spray On...2. Wipe Off...3. Have Fun!”. I have amended the instructions for myself as follows: I spray liberally, rub the toy all around to make sure it’s got cleanser everywhere, rinse off with warm water and either pat dry or air dry. I don’t know if this formula would irritate my skin if I didn’t rinse it off, but I’d rather not find out.

I use this cleanser mainly on my glass and TPR toys I don’t use often. I use this cleanser on my go-to toys (mostly silicone dildos and plugs) only sporadically as I’m afraid the scent/chemicals would seep into the toy. Perhaps I’m just paranoid. I do like the way this cleanser leaves my toys nice and clean and fresh-smelling. That being said, I do wish Before & After came in an unscented formula. Don’t get me wrong, I don’t mind the scent, I just try and stay away from perfumes and other chemicals as much as possible. This cleaner is great for traveling and for quick cleanups in between toys during a hot session. Who wants to stop and go to the sink in the middle of passion play? Not me.

I use warm water and castile soap as my tried and true thorough cleansing method. However, I do like Before & After and I do use it fairly often. If you’re like me and don’t use this product exclusively, an 8 oz bottle will last you a long time. I think this product is definitely worth it.
