Suitable for TPE/silicone
Selected Non-Through-Type Entries
- Rinse immediately after use → Mild, pH-balanced cleansing → Completely air-dried → Lightweight Finishing Powder(Applicable to TPE) → Store Separately。
- Non-throughMust-do: First, dampen the blotting paper or drying sticks, then let them air dry.
- 有Musty or strange odors = Usually not completely dry; Deal with it first, then decide whether toReplace。
- For those using TPE for the first time who are concerned about stickiness and odor.
- Often encounteredSticky Texture / Musty Odor / White Stains, a process-oriented person who just wants to “follow the instructions.”

SOP for Three Scenarios
- Rinse thoroughly inside and out with warm water
- A small amountNeutral Cleaning SolutionScrub
- Rush toNo slippery feeling
- Dry the outside, stuff the insideAbsorbent Strips 1–2 times
- Air-dry for 15–30 minutesCollect Again
This will do for now; when you have time, I still recommend doing a "standard cleaning."
- Rinse back and forth with a gentle stream of warm water
- Cleaning stick + a small amount of cleaning solutionRotate and Gently Wipe
- Rinse several times
- Air-dry
- Drying Sticks / Absorbent PaperWith water
- Completely air-dried
- Lightweight Finishing Powder(TPE recommendation; silicone can usually be omitted)
- Individual Bags for Storage + Desiccant
Add the following before "Standard Cleaning":Warm water + a small amount of baking sodaSoak for 3–5 minutes (do not use hot water) → Rinse thoroughly → Air-dry. If mold spots or a noticeable odor remain, consider...Replace。
Closed-End vs. Open-End | The Easiest Way to Wash Them
| Project | Non-through (blind) | Through-Type |
|---|---|---|
| Rinse | Inject water at the inlet, then pinch to stop the backflow | Alternate filling from both ends; fast flow rate |
| Scrub | Rotating Cleaning Rod, Don't force it | Access from both ends—saves time |
| Drying | Absorbent Paper / Drying SticksAlmost a must-have | After inserting the strips, let them air dry. |
| Risk | Water buildup at the blind end → Prone to musty odors | Good ventilation → Less odor buildup |
Tool List | Priority
- Neutral Cleaning Solution, Cleaning Sticks/Sponge Sticks
- Absorbent Paper/Drying Sticks, Soft Towels
- Desiccant
- Constant-temperature heating rod (approx. 40–45°C): Preheating or auxiliary drying (for a short time, with someone present)
- Small fan / dehumidifier (really helps when it's damp and cold)
- Alcohol, strong acids and bases, bleach, products containing abrasive particles
- High Temperatures/Boiling Water, Hand Cream / Mineral Oil
Care Powder: For TPE, cornstarch or the manufacturer’s recommended powder is suggested (apply a thin layer); medical-grade silicone usually does not require it.
Drying Methods Ranked (Most Efficient → Fastest)
- Air-dry (in a well-ventilated, shaded area): Most stable and resistant to deformation; the process may take longer in damp, cold conditions, so we recommend using a small fan or a dehumidifier.
- Absorbent Paper Rolls: Low cost and easy to control; air-dry after extraction.
- Drying Rod: High efficiency;Use intermittently、By his side the entire time...which can significantly reduce the air-drying time.
- Constant-Temperature Heating Element: Just pretendLow-Temperature Assisted Dryingor preheat it to improve the efficiency of subsequent air-drying;Do not use continuously for long periods of time。
- Hair Dryer: Use onlyCool / Slightly Warm, Move the blower 20–30 cm away while blowing; do not blow in one spot for too long.
Environmental Tips (What to Do in Cold, Humid Weather)
- When the weather is cold or humid,It just takes a while to dry.: Find a well-ventilated corner indoors where there is no draft; placeSmall fan or dehumidifierIt's very effective.
- You can start by usingConstant-temperature heating element: brief preheating for 3–5 minutes, then let them air-dry.
- The final step before putting things awayPurified WaterRinsing it off can reduceWhite Limescale Stains。
Quick Reference: Frequently Asked Questions | Symptoms → Causes → Treatment → Prevention
| Symptoms | Possible Causes | Handle Immediately | How to Prevent It |
|---|---|---|---|
| Sticky surface | Moisture has not yet dissipated / Not yet powdered (TPE) | Rinse Again → Completely Dry → Light Powder | Add a desiccant and a light dusting of powder before storing. |
| Stale Odor / Unpleasant Odor | If the interior is damp, pack it up. | Absorbent paper + drying stick → Air-dry; for severe cases, considerReplace | Completely dryThen collect |
| White Marks/Water Stains | Scale (mineral deposits) | Purified WaterRinse one last time | For the final step, always use purified water. |
| Powder Clumps | Excessive powder application / Humid environment | Wipe off excess powder → Let it air-dry, then apply another thin layer | Water in small amounts frequently; reduce humidity |
| Crack in the lip ring | Overextension / Localized Overheating | Apply lubricant during cleaning to reduce tension | Avoid high temperatures and prolonged exposure to heat in one spot |
Safety Red Lines | Must-Read
- No alcohol, nail polish remover, essential oils, petroleum jelly, etc.Oil-based / Solvent-based。
- Do not soak in hot water or expose to direct sunlight;Microwave Ovens/Dryers Prohibited。
- Constant-temperature heating element = short-term auxiliary heating;If others are present, do not use it continuously for long periods of time.。
- Completely dryRecycling; compared to other materialsStore Separately, to prevent dissolution and staining.
Storage/Maintenance Schedule
- Every time: Clean → Thoroughly dry → (TPE) Lightly dust with powder → Individual bag + desiccant。
- Every 2–4 weeks: Remove for breathability testing,Replace the desiccant(You can do this more often during the cold, damp season.)
- Not used for a long time: Store in a dry, well-ventilated place; avoid heavy pressure to prevent deformation.
The Right Time to Upgrade
- CrackExpand, Lip Seal / Inner LumenFlaking。
- The odor won't go awayOr the mold spots may spread.
- SurfaceChronic Oily Skin, Deterioration in texture.
- Loose structure,Cleaning is getting harder and harder。
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Is it okay to just use wet wipes?
A: Only temporarily. When I get home, I'll still have to...Wash → Rinse → Let air dry completely, otherwise it may develop an unpleasant odor.
Q: Can household body wash be used as a substitute for cleaning solution?
A: Yes, but you need toMild and gentle, alcohol-free / exfoliating; Use a small amount, and mix withNo slippery feeling。
Q: Do I have to apply powder?
A:TPE RecommendationsLightly dust with cornstarch (original brand); silicone is usually not necessary. The key isLet it dry completely first。
