Before diving into the maintenance routine, it’s good to have a few essential items on hand. Here are the basics:

Antibacterial soap or a mild, unscented liquid soap
Warm water (avoid overly hot water, which can damage materials)
Soft sponge or non-abrasive cloth for cleaning
Towel or soft cloth for drying
Cornstarch or talcum powder to maintain skin texture
Silicone-safe or TPE-safe renewal powder (depending on your doll’s material)

These items help keep your doll clean, smooth, and free from damage caused by harsh substances.

Regular cleaning is crucial to prevent bacterial buildup and to maintain the doll’s texture. Here’s how to do it:

Step 1: Prepare the Doll
Place your doll on a clean, flat surface and ensure it’s in a stable position to avoid any damage while cleaning. If you have a detachable head or parts, consider removing them to clean each piece individually.
Step 2: Use Lukewarm Water and Mild Soap
Use a sponge or soft cloth with lukewarm water and a mild soap. Gently clean the entire body, focusing on high-use areas. Avoid submerging the doll in water unless specifically allowed by the manufacturer.
Step 3: Rinse with Clean Water
After washing, rinse off all soap residue with a clean, damp cloth. Residual soap can dry out the doll’s skin or leave an unwanted scent.
Step 4: Pat Dry
Use a soft towel to gently pat the doll dry. Avoid rubbing, which can damage the material. Make sure all areas are completely dry to avoid mold or mildew.
Step 5: Apply Powder
Once the doll is fully dry, lightly dust the entire body with cornstarch or renewal powder. This step helps maintain the doll’s soft, realistic texture and prevents stickiness.

The doll’s openings require special attention for hygiene and longevity. Here’s a step-by-step guide:

Step 1: Rinse Immediately After Use
Use warm water with mild antibacterial soap to thoroughly rinse each opening immediately after use.
Step 2: Use a Small Cleaning Brush or Irrigator
Many dolls come with a small brush or irrigator for cleaning hard-to-reach areas. Gently scrub or flush out the opening with soap and water.
Step 3: Dry Thoroughly
Use an absorbent cloth or a drying stick designed for sex dolls. Allow the openings to air dry completely before storing the doll.

Proper storage is essential to keep your doll in good shape and prevent damage over time. Here’s what to keep in mind:

Store in a Cool, Dry Place
Avoid storing the doll in direct sunlight or extreme temperatures. A dark, cool closet or a storage box designed for dolls is ideal.
Avoid Sharp or Rough Surfaces
Place your doll on soft bedding or a cloth to prevent scratches or dents. Hard surfaces can also deform the doll over time.
Keep the Doll in a Natural Position
Avoid bending the doll’s limbs into unnatural positions for long periods, as this can damage the internal structure. It’s best to keep the doll in a neutral position.
Cover with a Blanket or Sheet
A breathable fabric cover, like a cotton sheet, protects the doll’s skin from dust while allowing airflow, which prevents mold.

Dolls made of silicone or TPE (thermoplastic elastomer) are durable but might develop small tears or damages over time. Here’s how to handle them:

Repair Small Tears with Adhesive
Many manufacturers offer repair kits specifically for their dolls. Use a small amount of TPE or silicone-safe adhesive to repair any minor tears. Be sure to follow the instructions closely to prevent further damage.
Prevent Skin Dryness
Using cornstarch powder regularly will help keep the doll’s skin from drying out, especially in areas that experience more friction.
Inspect for Joint Stiffness or Looseness
Over time, joints might stiffen or loosen. Some manufacturers provide guidance on adjusting joints, but if in doubt, it’s best to consult with customer support to avoid damaging the internal skeleton.

Maintaining your doll’s high-quality appearance over time is achievable with these additional tips:

Limit Friction and Pressure
Avoid dragging or applying excessive pressure to any one area, as it may weaken the material.
Avoid Using Oil-Based Products
Oil can degrade TPE and silicone over time. Use water-based lubricants during use to keep your doll in peak condition.
Check for Material-Specific Care Instructions
TPE and silicone have different maintenance needs. Always check your manufacturer’s guidelines for cleaning, as silicone is generally less porous and easier to maintain than TPE.

How often should I clean my sex doll?
It’s recommended to clean your doll after each use and to perform a full-body cleaning at least once a month if not used frequently.
Can I use baby oil on my doll?
No, it’s best to avoid oils, especially on TPE dolls, as oil-based products can degrade the material.
How do I prevent my doll’s skin from getting sticky?
Regularly applying cornstarch powder or a renewal powder will keep the skin smooth and prevent stickiness.
