Well, fear not, because if there is one thing we are serious about, it is sex toy hygiene. 

So, buckle up as we dive into the wonderful world of metal dildo sterilisation.

Polishing the Rocket Ship

First things first: let's talk about the basics. At dildoes.co.uk Metal dildos are incredibly popular due to their sleek design, satisfying weight, temperature play capabilities and smooth sensations. They are also much easier to clean than their silicone or rubber counterparts, which is great news for the lazy and the germaphobic alike. 


To keep your metal buddy squeaky clean and sparkling, follow these simple steps:


  • Grab some mild soap and warm water.
  • Wash the dildo thoroughly with a cloth or sponge making sure to get into all the nooks and crannies with a soft toothbrush.
  • Rinse off the soap with warm water.
  • Dry the dildo with a lint-free cloth or let it air dry.
  • Admire your handiwork and give yourself a pat on the back.

Simple, right? But wait, there's more! If you're sharing your metallic masterpiece with others or you're simply a stickler for cleanliness, you may want to take things a step further. That's where sterilisation comes in.

Boiling Point: The Next Level of Cleanliness

You may have heard of boiling silicone sex toys to sterilise them and you can do the same with metal dildos. The basic science is that the temperature of boiling water is too high for germs and bacteria to survive so a quick boil will kill off any invisible nasties.


Here's the lowdown:


  • Fill a pot with enough water to cover your dildo completely.
  • Bring the water to a rolling boil.
  • Carefully place your metal friend into the pot (use tongs if you're accident-prone, like yours truly).
  • Let it boil for 5-10 minutes.
  • Turn off the heat and allow the water to cool down.
  • Remove the dildo with tongs or a clean utensil (remember, it's hot!).
  • Dry your metal dildo with a clean cloth or towel or let it air dry.

Now, you might be wondering, is boiling my metal dildo going to warp it, change its colour or affect its performance? The answer is no, no, and definitely not. High-quality metal dildos are usually made from stainless steel or, occasionally, aluminium which can withstand boiling temperatures without any issue.

A Steamy Affair: Metal Dildo Steam Sterilisation 

As well as boiling your dildos, you can also sterilise your metal sex toys using steam. This method requires a bit more equipment but offers a high level of cleanliness. 


All you need is a steam steriliser (like the ones used for baby bottles), some tap water and these simple steps:


  • Place your metal dildo inside the steriliser's chamber.
  • Add the recommended amount of water (check the steriliser's instructions).
  • Turn on the steriliser and let it run its full cycle.
  • Remove the dildo and allow it to cool down and dry.

Voila! Your metal dildo is now squeaky clean and ready for another round of out-of-this-world pleasure.

Storage Wars: Keeping Your Metal Dildo Pristine

Now that you know how to sterilise your metal dildo, you need to store it correctly to keep it clean (or all that sterilisation will have been for nothing). Like a sword in a stone or Excalibur in its scabbard, your majestic metallic tool deserves a proper home. 


Consider these storage options:


  • A satin or velvet pouch: Fancy, luxurious and oh-so-soft. It's like tucking your metal dildo into bed every night.
  • A dedicated sex toy storage box: Keep all your intimate items organised, clean and ready for action. Bonus points if it has a lock to prevent thieves or curious housemates.
  • A clean, dry drawer or cabinet: Just make sure your dildo isn't rubbing elbows with your socks or half-eaten granola bars.

Remember, proper storage not only keeps your dildo clean but also prolongs its lifespan, ensuring that you two can embark on many more cosmic adventures together.
