Cleaning joints and screws on a sex doll requires careful attention to material compatibility and safety. Start by consulting the doll’s care guide or manufacturer recommendations, since different materials demand different products. In general, use mild soap or a gentle, non-abrasive cleanser and warm water. Avoid harsh solvents, alcohol-based cleaners, bleach, or anything that can degrade skin-like surfaces or metal components. A soft microfiber cloth or a small-bristled brush works well for reaching creases around joints.
Before you begin, ensure the doll is in a safe, dry area and that any electrical components are powered down or protected. If the joints are loose or squeaky, do not force adjustments. Check the care guide for suggested tightening methods or professional servicing. When cleaning around screws or fasteners, use a soft cloth or cotton swab to remove grime from crevices, then pat dry. Moisture left in joints can promote corrosion or mildew, so thorough drying is essential.
After cleaning, inspect joints for looseness, corrosion, or signs of wear. If you notice rust on metal hardware or unusual stiffness, stop and seek professional advice. If lubricant is recommended by the manufacturer, apply it sparingly and only to areas approved in the guide. Store the doll in a well-ventilated, dry space to minimize moisture buildup. Regular, gentle cleaning helps preserve articulation and longevity without compromising material integrity.
