Maintenance Guide
Proper maintenance is one of the most overlooked aspects of owning a companion doll.
Many users focus on selection and initial experience, but long-term satisfaction depends heavily on how the doll is cleaned, stored, and cared for over time.
Different materials — such as TPE and silicone — respond differently to moisture, pressure, and environmental conditions. Without a clear maintenance approach, even high-quality dolls can develop issues like odor, surface wear, or structural fatigue.
This guide brings together the essential aspects of companion doll care, including cleaning methods, storage practices, and long-term maintenance principles — helping you preserve both the material condition and the overall experience.
Before performing maintenance, we strongly recommend that you familiarize yourself with the companion doll’s materials and internal structure.
How to Deep Clean Your Sex Doll?
1. How should I prepare my new companion doll before first use?
Before your first intimate experience with your new companion doll, a thorough surface sanitization is essential. During manufacturing and packaging, harmless but unwanted residues may remain on the doll’s exterior.
Using lukewarm water (approximately 30–35°C) and a mild, fragrance-free antibacterial soap, lightly dampen a soft microfiber cloth or sponge. Gently wipe the doll’s body surface section by section, avoiding prolonged water exposure and ensuring water does not enter internal cavities or joints.
Pay close attention to skin folds, seams, and other crevices where residue may accumulate. After cleaning, use a clean, dry towel to carefully remove surface moisture before proceeding to the drying stage.
2. What's the essential routine after each use?
After each intimate session, immediate cleaning prevents bacterial growth and maintains material integrity. For internal channels (vaginal, anal, oral), use the included irrigator with warm water and a specialized intimate cleaner (pH-balanced for synthetic materials). Flush each canal thoroughly until water runs clear, then dry completely with absorbent sticks before applying renewal powder.
3. How do I perform a thorough deep cleaning?
A comprehensive cleaning every 2-3 weeks will preserve your companion’s beauty and ensure lasting hygiene. This process requires careful attention to both external surfaces and internal channels.
(1)Preparation & Cleaning
Begin by securing the neck joint with a waterproof cover to prevent internal rusting. Using a hand-held showerhead with gentle, lukewarm water, thoroughly rinse the entire body. Apply a mild, pH-balanced body wash with a soft sponge using circular motions, paying special attention to any stained areas.
(2) Rinsing & Drying
For intimate channels, use the irrigator to flush with clean water 10-20 times. After thoroughly rinsing all soap residue from the body, pat dry with soft towels. Allow the doll to stand for at least 30 minutes to ensure complete internal drying.
(3) Final Touches
Finish by lightly dusting with baby powder using a soft brush. This crucial step restores the smooth, skin-like texture and prevents stickiness. For detailed stain removal techniques without a full wash, consult our specialized stain removal guide.

How to Store Your Companion Doll for Longevity?
Proper storage plays a critical role in preventing deformation and pressure marks over time. Storage should never be confused with temporary hiding—it requires a stable environment and intentional positioning.
1. Maintain a Stable Environment
- Temperature: 18–24°C (64–75°F)
- Humidity: 40–60%
- Avoid direct sunlight and prolonged airtight enclosure
A stable climate slows material aging and reduces surface stress.
2. Use Pressure-Reducing Storage Methods
Most deformation issues are caused by long-term static pressure, not usage.
Suspension storage is recommended whenever possible:
- Use a hook for the body and a head stand for proper support
If lying storage is necessary:
- Use soft, evenly distributed padding
- Avoid hard, flat surfaces
The goal is always to eliminate continuous pressure on the same areas.
3. Position the Body Naturally
- Keep joints in relaxed, neutral positions
- Avoid seated or folded poses for long-term storage
- Periodically adjust contact points to interrupt pressure buildup
4. Clothing and Surface Contact
- Use loose, light-colored cotton clothing only
- Remove all accessories before long-term storage
- Avoid dark fabrics and non-breathable materials

What Are the Pro Techniques for Doll Care?
- Monthly application of TPE/Silicone rejuvenator. It replenishes essential oils, prevents the material from drying out or becoming sticky, and helps maintain a soft, lifelike texture.
- UV-protectant sprays for occasional outdoor use. It creates a protective barrier that shields the material from the sun’s harmful ultraviolet (UV) rays, which can cause fading and premature degradation.
- Specialized polishing cloths for high-wear areas. These anti-static, microfiber polishing cloths are designed to gently buff away fine dust and micro-scratches from high-contact areas like the face, hands, and elbows. They help restore a smooth, matte finish without the use of liquids.
What Are Common Doll Issues and How Do You Fix Them?
1. How to Remove Stain of your companion doll
To effectively remove stains from your companion doll, first identify her material: gently dab TPE dolls with a damp microfiber cloth and mild soap, as they are softer and porous, while silicone can handle slightly more firm patting. Always air-dry completely. Then, restore the smooth finish by lightly applying baby powder with a soft brush. Avoid scrubbing, harsh chemicals, and ensure the doll is perfectly dry before powdering. More detail please check in our Removing Stain page.
2. How to Eliminate Odors from Your Companion Doll?
(1) Activated charcoal pouches in storage
Place 2-3 charcoal pouches around (not directly touching) the doll inside your sealed storage box. Reactivate the pouches every 3 months by placing them in direct sunlight for 4-6 hours. This releases the absorbed moisture and refreshes them. Replace the pouches entirely every 12-18 months to ensure maximum effectiveness.
(2) Monthly enzyme-based deep cleaning
Firstly, mix the enzyme cleaner with lukewarm water exactly as directed on the product label. Secondly, dampen a soft, lint-free cloth with the solution and gently wipe the entire surface of the doll. Allow the solution to sit for 5-10 minutes (do not let it dry). Thirdly, wipe the area clean with a second cloth dampened with plain water to remove any residue. After cleaning, let the doll air-dry completely in a well-ventilated area before storage.
3. How to Restore Doll's Material?
(1) DIY Repairs for Minor Imperfections
For small pressure marks or superficial damage, you can perform repairs using the specialized tools included with your doll. The repair kit is designed for user-friendly operation, allowing you to seamlessly address minor flaws and restore the surface. Minor surface tears and imperfections can be addressed through DIY repair methods, but outcomes depend heavily on the doll’s material.
Silicone companion dolls support chemical-level repairs, using dedicated silicone repair compounds that cure into new silicone material. When applied correctly, the repaired area can achieve relatively good structural stability and improved visual blending, though it remains less resistant than the original molded material.
TPE companion dolls, by contrast, only allow physical repairs. Most methods rely on adhesion rather than true material integration, meaning the repair does not restore the original molecular structure. As a result, repaired areas on TPE dolls often show visible seams, reduced elasticity, and a higher risk of re-tearing.
DIY repairs should therefore be viewed as containment and stabilization measures, not full restoration. For best results and long-term durability, prevention and proper handling remain more important than repair itself. If you need more detailed repair instructions, please refer to our article How to Repair a Tear in Your Companion Doll.
(2) Seeking Professional Restoration for Significant Damage
In cases of major damage, we recommend seeking local professional restoration services. Given the high cost and complexity of international shipping, finding a qualified local specialist is often a more practical and efficient solution. We advise researching reputable local technicians who can provide the necessary expertise to restore your doll to its original condition, ensuring a high-quality and cost-effective repair.
