We all love our toys and want them to last. Like clothing and furniture, our toys need proper care as well. The following is by no means an exhaustive exploration of BDSM toy care, but it is a good place to start! Care for your BDSM toys and they will care for you!
Wooden Toy Care:
Disinfecting: Spray with cavicide or other bug-killing disinfectant, allow to dry and wrap in plastic (air tight) and leave for 22 days.
To keep it looking nice: Wipe down with the wood oil of your choice (food-grade or furniture) once a month or so in drier climates and less frequently for more humid regions, allow to completely dry before putting it back in your toy bag.

Bamboo and Rattan Cane Toy Care:
Disinfecting: Spray with cavicide or other bug-killing disinfectant, allow to dry and wrap in plastic (air tight) and leave for 22 days.
To keep it flexible and healthy: Soak in water (handle and all) once a month or so in drier climates and less frequently for more humid regions, allow to completely dry before putting it back in your toy bag.
We have canes for punishment and discipline play!
Synthetic Impact Toy Care:
Disinfecting: Spray with cavicide or other bug-killing disinfectant, allow to dry before returning to your toy bag.
To keep it looking nice: Wipe down with damp cloth or wash with soap and warm water.
Leather Toy Care:
Leather toys must be conditioned regularly to keep them looking and feeling great. They are VERY difficult to disinfect and doing so may ruin the look and feel of the leather. Use a good quality leather conditioner such as Huberd’s to keep them looking, feeling, and performing well.
Rubber Toy Care:
Disinfecting: Spray with cavicide or other bug-killing disinfectant, allow to dry before returning to your toy bag.
To keep it looking nice: Wipe down with damp cloth or wash with soap and warm water, or use rubber conditioner (same as you would use for rubber or latex clothing).
Things to keep in mind:
Glass and stainless or surgical steel can be boiled in water to disinfect.
For insertables, use a condom on them when in use to help keep them clean, wash with soap and warm water between uses, it’s safest not to share toys between partners, but if you must, please disinfect them between uses.
Leather does not, to my knowledge, have the ability to be disinfected, though if you have other information, please feel free to share it!
And keep all toys stored out of direct sunlight!
