Learning how to properly clean, care for, and repair your new sex doll is essential if you want to maximize her service life. Proper maintenance not only helps keep your love doll hygienic, but also ensures she stays in excellent condition for years. You can follow the guidelines below to clean, maintain, and restore your doll effectively.

How to Clean Your Sex Doll

Items Needed

  • Comb (accessory)
  • Antibacterial soap
  • Water
  • Irrigator (accessory)
  • Soft towel or microfiber towel
  • Talcum powder or baby powder
  • Mineral baby oil
  • Vaseline (mineral fat)

Reasons for Cleaning Your Sex Doll

  • To remove factory residue when the doll is newly received
  • To maintain hygiene after each use
  • If the doll is stored in a non–dust-free environment, a full cleaning every 10–20 days is recommended even without use

Different parts of the doll should be cleaned separately for best results.

Cleaning the Sex Doll’s Body

First, use a soft towel to wipe off excess lubricant or bodily fluids. Remove the doll’s head and vaginal insert if the doll is equipped with a removable vagina.

Prepare soapy water with a 1:5 soap-to-water ratio and spray it evenly over the doll’s body. Place the doll on a towel and gently wipe the body, arms, and legs with a soft sponge or towel.

If you prefer shower cleaning, you may use a handheld shower. Please avoid wetting the metal connector in the neck to prevent rust. If the doll has standing feet, use plastic bags to protect the metal components in the feet.

After washing, TPE material may still show faint oil stains depending on lighting and skin tone. These stains can usually be reduced by repeatedly applying baby oil in one direction and wiping with a microfiber towel until the surface looks even.

Finally, dry the doll thoroughly and apply talcum powder or baby powder to remove any oily feeling and restore a smooth skin texture.

Cleaning Notes:

  • Avoid excessive pressure on the doll’s skin
  • Do not use abrasive soaps or household cleaning products
  • Do not use hard sponges, wire brushes, or sharp tools
  • Do not place the doll near open flames, heaters, or radiators
  • Do not use hair dryers or heating devices to speed up drying

Cleaning the Vagina, Anus, and Mouth

The vaginal, anal, and oral areas should be cleaned and disinfected after every use, especially for TPE dolls, as the material has more pores than silicone.

Use an irrigator to flush warm antibacterial soapy water into the openings. If an irrigator is unavailable, a low-pressure shower hose may be used.

Tie a soft sponge to a stick or brush to create a gentle loofah. Lightly scrub the internal area with warm soapy water a few times. Rinse thoroughly with clean water until no soap residue remains.

Allow the doll’s legs to remain slightly open so the vagina and anus can air-dry naturally. Once completely dry, apply a small amount of Vaseline to maintain softness and elasticity.

Cleaning the Sex Doll’s Face

Remove the head from the body and take off the wig if possible. Gently dab the face using a warm sponge or soft cloth dipped in soapy water. Pat dry with a clean towel and allow the head to air dry naturally for about one hour.

Notes:

Never soak the doll’s head in water

Facial makeup is semi-permanent and may fade if over-cleaned

Avoid rubbing the face excessively

Do not wet or damage the eyes and eyelashes

Cleaning the Sex Doll’s Wig

Remove the wig and comb it gently before washing. Wash the wig in cold water using sulfate-free shampoo and conditioner. Submerge the wig and stir gently, then soak for about five minutes.

Rinse from top to bottom until the water runs clear. Comb the wig immediately after rinsing and allow it to air dry on a wig stand.

Note:

  • Do not let the wig dry on the doll’s head
  • Do not use styling products on the wig while worn

Expert Cleaning Tips

  • Use condoms during use to contain bodily fluids
  • Choose dolls with removable vaginal inserts when possible
  • For fixed vaginas, a fan or tampon can help speed drying
  • Suspend the doll when applying oil or powder
  • A small spray bottle is ideal for cleaning small areas

How to Maintain a Sex Doll

Proper maintenance helps your love doll perform better and last longer.

TPE Rehydration

It is recommended to rehydrate TPE dolls once a month using mineral baby oil. Apply oil from head to toe and allow it to absorb for about two hours. Turn the doll over and repeat the process.

Remove baby powder before oiling. For high-stress areas such as armpits, mouth, anus, and vagina, Vaseline can be applied and left to absorb for up to 12 hours.

Lubricant Application

Water-based lubricants are strongly recommended. Silicone-based or oil-based lubricants may damage TPE material and should be avoided. Baby oil or Vaseline may be used as alternatives if preferred.

Preventing Clothing Stains

TPE and silicone materials can absorb dye easily. Light-colored clothing is recommended. Dark or bright clothes should be washed first to test for color transfer.

If staining occurs, Uniteddoll offers a stain-removal cream. Apply lightly, wait 24 hours, wipe off, and repeat if necessary until the stain fades.

Skin Care Tips

  • Apply baby powder only when the doll is completely dry
  • Avoid keeping arms or legs raised for long periods
  • Store the doll in a neutral, relaxed position
  • Avoid direct sunlight to prevent material aging

If the doll will not be used for several days, suspend her using a suspension kit.

Skeleton Maintenance

Your love doll has a metal skeleton with movable joints. Move joints gently and never force unnatural positions. Avoid dropping the doll or placing her on hard surfaces.

Keep metal neck and foot components dry to prevent rust and joint stiffness.

Sex Doll Storage Precautions

Store the doll in a dry, room-temperature environment away from direct sunlight. Avoid damp areas such as bathrooms or garages.

Do not place the doll on dark or stained materials for long periods. Use a storage bag or the original box to protect the doll from dust.

When moving the doll, lift properly using your legs, not your back. Hold the doll around the waist and never lift by the limbs or head.

Storage Options

  • Storage box
  • Hanging cabinet
  • Original box
  • Storage bag

Products Harmful to Sex Dolls

Alcohol:
Including wipes, sprays, disinfectants, and alcohol-based cleaners. These cause irreversible drying and internal damage.

Solvents:
Paint thinners, mineral solvents, ether-based products, and chemical cleaners dissolve TPE structure and are extremely harmful.

Vegetable Oils:
Coconut oil, creams, and fruit oils block the material’s breathability.

Silicone Oil:
Silicone-based lubricants and wet condoms damage TPE elasticity and structure.

Sex Doll Repair Guide

Repairing Skin Tears

Place the damaged area flat and ensure it is clean and dry. Apply a small amount of repair glue using a toothpick. Pinch the wound closed for several minutes.

Use minimal glue to avoid visible scars.

Removing Stains

Clean and dry the stained area. Apply stain-removal cream and leave it for 24 hours. Wipe off and repeat as needed. Finish by applying baby powder once the stain is removed.

Fixing Deformation

Minor indentations can be restored using warm water and a towel. Severe deformation should be handled by contacting us.

Replacing Eyes

Gently separate the eyelids vertically, remove the old eye, and insert the new one carefully. Replace any filling material if needed.
