TPE sex dolls feel super realistic, soft, and elastic. Many people fall in love with them as soon as they touch them. But you may not realize that this material is actually quite “delicate”: it is easy to absorb water, will produce oil, is afraid of high temperatures, and cannot be used with detergents casually… If you clean it improperly, not only will the experience be greatly reduced, but it may also make her “retire” early.

Don’t panic! This article will teach you how to give a TPE doll a standard, thorough, and comfortable cleaning, and also tell you some tips for maintenance, so that she will always be as tender, clean, and charming as when she first left the factory.

1. Why do TPE dolls need to be cleaned specially?

TPE (thermoplastic elastomer) is a material commonly used in sex dolls. Although it is cheap, soft, and real, it also has several “disadvantages” that you need to pay special attention to:

• Easy to absorb water: TPE is a porous material with strong water absorption. When used, body fluids and lubricants may be absorbed. If not cleaned in time, it is easy to breed bacteria and mold.
• Will secrete grease: This is not a broken doll, but the natural state of the material itself. If the grease is not cleaned, it is easy to get dusty or cause odor.
• Afraid of high temperature and strong detergents: TPE is sensitive to temperature, and exposure to the sun or hot water will age the surface and even deform; and detergents containing alcohol and bleach will also corrode the epidermis.
• The surface is easy to stain: Dark clothes are particularly easy to “stain” on the doll, and once stained, it is basically difficult to clean.

Therefore, cleaning and maintenance are really important.

2. Complete process of cleaning TPE dolls (recommended to do it after each use)

🌟Tools you need to prepare:

• Warm water (not hot water)
• Mild antibacterial soap / neutral detergent
• Soft towel or sponge
• Wet cloth / wet wipes (non-alcoholic)
• Corn starch or baby powder
• Optional: 70% isopropyl alcohol (alcohol disinfection)
• Clean flat table or bed, lay a large towel

✅Specific steps are as follows:

• 1. Find a clean place to clean her: Don’t operate in a wet bathroom or dirty floor, try to let the doll lie on the towel to prevent dirt or scratches.
• 2. Undress her: Be gentle, don’t pull it. After taking off the clothes, also check if it is stained.
• 3. Prepare a mild cleaning solution: Use warm water and a small amount of mild soap. Don’t use detergent, alcohol, or alcohol-containing wipes directly-too irritating, TPE skin will be “allergic”.
• 4. Gently wipe the whole body with a soft cloth: From top to bottom, take your time. Especially the neck, armpits, elbows, hips, vagina and other parts should be taken care of. You can use cotton swabs to clean the gaps.
• 5. Wipe off the foam: Change to a clean wet towel or sponge and wipe off the bubbles. Don’t rinse directly with water, it will get water, especially in the joints and inside.
• 6. Dry thoroughly, and never leave water: Use a towel to dry the whole body, and then put it in a ventilated place to dry for a while. Make sure the gaps and private parts are dry, otherwise they are easy to mold.
• 7. Sprinkle cornstarch / talcum powder: Many people forget this step. Powder can absorb oil and prevent sticking, making the doll’s skin smooth again and not sticky.
• 8. Optional: Gently disinfect (occasionally): Use a small amount of isopropyl alcohol on the cloth to gently wipe the private parts. But don’t disinfect frequently, otherwise the skin will become dry and brittle.

3. Clean the “internal passages” such as the vagina/anus/oral cavity

These places are most likely to hide bacteria, so be sure to focus on cleaning:

• After use, you can use a douche + warm soapy water to gently rinse
• After washing, use a clean cloth to absorb water and then dry it (you can use a fan)
• After completely drying, sprinkle talcum powder or use disinfectant spray

Tip: Some dolls have a detachable vagina, which is more convenient to clean.

4. How to store and maintain it in daily life?

✅ Do these things well, and the sexdoll will stay with you longer:

• Prevent heat and humidity: put it in a well-ventilated and dry place, away from heating, direct sunlight, and humid corners.
• Do not let her keep the same posture for extended periods: for example, sitting or leaning forward for a long time is susceptible to deformation, and change posture or lie down from time to time.
• Don’t wear clothes that are too tight or too dark: tight or fading clothes are easy to stain and crush the epidermis. Non-staining, easy to take off and sexy: Nakedoll’s Sex Doll Outfits
• Check the skin condition regularly: If you find small cracks or damage, you should deal with it in time, and you can repair it with repair glue.
