Preserving Non-Porous Surfaces

How should you clean tools that touch your bare skin every day? While it is tempting to use rubbing alcohol or strong dish soaps, harsh solvents strip the finish off delicate materials. Think of platinum-cured silicone like fine leather footwear: gentle washing keeps the surface supple, while aggressive chemicals cause fine cracks to form over time.

Washing Routine for Silicone and ABS Polymers

What cleaning agents work safely on our tools? We build our structural components from durable ABS polymer, which is a rigid, impact-resistant housing, combined with platinum silicone. A mild, unscented hand soap and warm running water remove all skin oils without degrading the casing.

• Initial rinse: Hold the tool under warm running water for twenty seconds to loosen oils.
• Gentle suds: Lather a single pump of unscented liquid soap over the touch surfaces using your fingers.
• Air dry: Pat dry with a clean, lint-free cloth and let the tool rest in an open space out of direct sunlight.

Common Pitfalls to Avoid

Never submerge tools that have open charging ports, and never use silicone-based body lubricants with silicone tools. When like materials meet, they bond chemically and break down into a sticky surface residue. Storing your device in a breathable cotton pouch keeps ambient dust away between your quiet evening self-care sessions.
