Deep cleaning and thorough drying. "The Brit Kit"
By u/BrixtonDD
Hello to all the new and previous Tantaly customers! This sub has really grown and I hope this info is helpful, especially to some newer torso and hip doll owners. To start: The Tantaly Care Kit is excellent and I consider it a must have. Especially the douche bulb. I use it every time to clean the tunnels. Also mild soap diluted with water, and the drying sticks.
It's possible those 3 things + the powder might be all you need. The rest of this post goes beyond that to a deep clean that you might like to do depending on the situation.
First I flush the tunnels with the douche bulb to remove as much lube and semen as possible. Next I use the forceps and the dental swab combined with the foaming toy cleaner to go all the way to the end of the tunnel to really scrub around (gently of course). Then I flush with clean water a few times with the douche bulb.
For drying first I use the microfiber wands as recommended by VAM_Moose to dry out as much moisture as possible (in the linked post they are shown for cleaning as well as drying - I use them mostly for drying). Then I use the aquarium pump to dry very thoroughly as well as alternating the drying sticks (not pictured). The tubes from the pump are coated with heat shrink tubing as suggested by UnassumingUser364 to limit how much they kink and also to protect the TPE. After I remove the aquarium pump tubes, I gently insert the drying sticks and leave them in for a half hour. Then I check for moisture with the finger test, or with a dry microfiber wand, and repeat until I'm convinced they are dry. (usually maybe an hour with the pump and then a few times of rotating a fresh dry set of the drying sticks (t's good to own at least 4 or more sticks so you have dry ones available).
And that's that. Maybe it looks like a lot but over time cleaning and maintenance gets easier. I can't claim to really enjoy cleaning (I wish it was just all sex and nothing else) but obviously it's necessary and I do kinda enjoy geeking out on the kit and having all the right tools for the job. Also, I don't do this deep clean every time, but occasionally I'll put a torso in the bath tub for a few hours and not clean it right away for whatever reason. Then I prefer to do a deeper clean compared to just the douche bulb and mild soap which is my standard routine when I clean immediately after use. I hope this is helpful and please reply with any questions! Enjoy all your squeaky clean pussies and asses to your heart's content!
