Learn how to clean and maintain your Strange Bedfellas Oros silicone toy, with specific tips for Soft and Near Clear firmness variants.

Quick Answer

Clean your Oros toy with mild soap and warm water or a dedicated toy cleaner before and after each use. Soft silicone needs gentle handling to avoid tearing, while Near Clear 31* silicone is more durable but can attract lint—store it separately.

Why Firmness Matters for Care

Strange Bedfellas offers Oros toys in Soft (0030) and Near Clear 31* silicone. Soft silicone is plush and flexible, making it ideal for comfort but more prone to surface damage if handled roughly. Near Clear 31* is firmer and smoother, resisting minor abrasions but showing dust and lint more easily. These differences affect how you wash, dry, and store each variant.

Step-by-Step Oros Care Routine

  1. 1. Rinse Immediately After Use: Run warm water over the toy to remove surface debris. For Soft silicone, use a gentle stream—high pressure can cause micro-tears. For Near Clear, a quick rinse is sufficient. Never use boiling water or a dishwasher; high heat can degrade silicone.
  2. 2. Wash with Mild Soap or Toy Cleaner: Apply a small amount of fragrance-free, antibacterial soap or a silicone-safe toy cleaner. Use your fingers or a soft cloth to lather the entire surface. For Soft Oros, avoid abrasive sponges. For Near Clear, pay extra attention to textured areas where residue can hide. Avoid soaps with moisturizers, oils, or silicones—they can leave a film that attracts bacteria.
  3. 3. Rinse Thoroughly and Pat Dry: Rinse under warm water until all soap is gone. Pat dry with a lint-free cloth or air-dry on a clean towel. Near Clear silicone shows lint easily, so a microfiber cloth works best. Soft silicone can collect dust if left wet—ensure it's fully dry before storage. Do not use paper towels; fibers can stick to the silicone.
  4. 4. Store in a Cool, Dry Place: Place your Oros toy in a breathable cotton bag or its original packaging. Keep it away from direct sunlight, extreme temperatures, and other toys made of different materials (like TPE or jelly) to avoid chemical reactions. Soft silicone should not be pressed under heavy objects, as it can deform over time. Store Near Clear toys separately to prevent lint transfer from fabric pouches.
