Cleaning & Hygiene

Proper Cleaning Procedures

Maintaining proper hygiene is essential for your safety and the longevity of your ZEROCHU products. Follow these guidelines based on your product's material type.

Important: Always clean your product before first use and after each subsequent use. Never share intimate products without proper cleaning between users.

Step-by-Step Cleaning Guide

Follow these steps for optimal cleaning:

  1. Unplug/Remove Batteries: Ensure the device is turned off and disconnected from any power source
  2. Wipe Surface: Use a soft, damp cloth with mild soap to wipe the surface
  3. Rinse Thoroughly: Rinse completely with clean water (if waterproof)
  4. Dry Completely: Pat dry with a clean towel or let air dry completely
  5. Store Properly: Store in a clean, dry place away from direct sunlight

Material-Specific Cleaning Guide

Different materials require specific care approaches:

Material Type Cleaning Method What to Avoid
Body-Safe Silicone Warm water with mild, fragrance-free soap. Can be sterilized with toy cleaner or 10% bleach solution (rinse thoroughly). Alcohol-based cleaners, boiling water, dishwasher
ABS Plastic Wipe with damp cloth and mild soap. Can use toy cleaner specifically designed for plastic. Abrasive cleaners, soaking in water, extreme heat
Stainless Steel Warm water with mild soap. Can be boiled for sterilization (check if waterproof first). Bleach, abrasive pads, harsh chemicals
TPE/TPR Wipe with damp cloth and mild soap. Use immediately after cleaning and dry thoroughly. Boiling, alcohol, silicone-based lubes, storing with other toys

Recommended Cleaning Products

  • ZEROCHU Toy Cleaner: Specifically formulated for our products
  • Mild, fragrance-free soap: Gentle on materials and skin
  • 70% isopropyl alcohol: For quick disinfection (rinse after)
  • 10% bleach solution: For thorough sterilization of waterproof items

Never Use: Harsh chemicals, abrasive cleaners, bleach on non-waterproof items, or silicone-based lubricants with silicone toys (can damage material).

Battery & Charging

Maximizing Battery Life

Proper charging and battery care ensures optimal performance and extends the lifespan of your ZEROCHU products.

Charging Best Practices

  • First Charge: Fully charge before first use (usually 2-3 hours)
  • Regular Charging: Charge when battery is low, but don't wait until completely dead
  • Charging Time: Follow manufacturer recommendations (typically 1-2 hours)
  • Unplug After Full: Disconnect from charger once fully charged to prevent overcharging
  • Use Provided Charger: Always use the included USB cable and adapter

Battery Maintenance Tips

To maximize battery lifespan and performance:

  • Avoid Extreme Temperatures: Don't charge or store in very hot or cold environments
  • Partial Charges Are OK: Modern lithium batteries don't need full discharge cycles
  • Storage: If storing long-term, charge to 50-60% and store in cool, dry place
  • Regular Use: Use your device regularly to maintain battery health

Safety Warning: Never charge a wet device. Ensure product is completely dry before connecting to power source. Discontinue use if you notice battery swelling, overheating, or unusual odors.

Troubleshooting Battery Issues

If experiencing battery problems:

  1. Try a different USB cable and power source
  2. Clean charging port with dry cotton swab
  3. Reset device according to manual instructions
  4. Allow device to cool if it overheated during use
  5. Contact support if issues persist after troubleshooting

Storage & Maintenance

Proper Storage Conditions

Correct storage prevents damage, maintains hygiene, and extends the life of your ZEROCHU products.

Ideal Storage Conditions

  • Temperature: Room temperature (15-25°C / 59-77°F)
  • Humidity: Low humidity environment
  • Light: Away from direct sunlight (UV can degrade materials)
  • Cleanliness: Store only after thorough cleaning and drying
  • Separation: Store different materials separately to prevent reactions

Storage Solutions

We recommend:

  • Original Packaging: Ideal for protection and discretion
  • Dedicated Storage Bag: Breathable cotton or silk bags
  • Storage Case: Hard case with separate compartments
  • Designated Drawer/Shelf: Clean, dry area away from other items

Never Store: In bathroom (high humidity), near heat sources, with other toys touching (especially different materials), or while still damp.

Routine Maintenance Schedule

Regular maintenance ensures ongoing performance:

Frequency Maintenance Task Purpose
After Each Use Clean thoroughly with appropriate method Hygiene and material preservation
Monthly Inspect for wear, cracks, or damage Safety check and early problem detection
Every 3-6 Months Deep clean/sterilize if waterproof Thorough sanitization
Annually Replace if showing significant wear Safety and optimal performance

Safety Precautions

Important Safety Guidelines

Your safety is our priority. Follow these precautions to ensure safe and enjoyable use of your ZEROCHU products.

Medical Advisory: Consult your healthcare provider before use if you have medical conditions, are pregnant, or have recently undergone surgery.

Usage Safety

  • Read Instructions: Always read the user manual before first use
  • Check Condition: Inspect for damage before each use
  • Proper Lubrication: Use water-based lubricants (silicone-based can damage silicone toys)
  • Listen to Your Body: Discontinue use if experiencing discomfort or pain
  • Never Force: Use gentle pressure and stop if encountering resistance

When to Replace Your Product

Replace your ZEROCHU product if you notice any of the following:

  • Cracks, tears, or significant surface damage
  • Discoloration that doesn't clean off
  • Unusual odors persisting after cleaning
  • Battery no longer holding charge or overheating
  • Change in texture (becoming sticky or tacky)
  • Visible mold or mildew growth

Electrical Safety: Never use while charging or if cord/plug is damaged. Keep away from water unless specifically rated waterproof.

Product Compatibility

To prevent material damage and ensure safety:

  • Silicone + Silicone: Avoid storing together (can bond)
  • TPE/TPR: Store separately from all other materials
  • Lubricants: Use water-based with all materials; silicone-based only with non-silicone toys
  • Cleaning Products: Use only those compatible with your product's material

Product Care FAQs

Can I use antibacterial soap to clean my ZEROCHU product? +

We recommend mild, fragrance-free soap rather than antibacterial varieties. Antibacterial soaps often contain harsh chemicals that can degrade materials over time. For optimal cleaning, use our specially formulated ZEROCHU Toy Cleaner or a mild castile soap diluted in warm water.

How often should I replace the batteries in my device? +

For rechargeable devices, battery replacement is rarely needed with proper care. Lithium-ion batteries typically last 2-3 years with regular use. Signs you may need replacement include significantly reduced run time, failure to hold a charge, or device not powering on even when charged. We advise replace the new product when power noticeably diminishes.

Can I boil my silicone ZEROCHU product to sterilize it? +

Only if specifically stated as waterproof and heat-resistant in the product manual. Many silicone products can withstand boiling for 3-5 minutes, but electronic components cannot. For non-electronic silicone items, boiling is an effective sterilization method. Always check your product specifications first and never boil products with electrical components.

What should I do if my product develops an odor? +

Persistent odors usually indicate bacterial growth or material breakdown. First, try a thorough cleaning with ZEROCHU Toy Cleaner or a 10% bleach solution (for waterproof items). For porous materials like TPE/TPR, odors may be impossible to remove completely. If cleaning doesn't resolve the odor, it's time to replace the product to ensure hygiene and safety.

Is it safe to use my ZEROCHU product in the shower or bath? +

Only if your specific model is rated waterproof (IPX7 or higher). Check your product manual for water resistance specifications. Even waterproof devices should not be fully submerged for extended periods. Never charge or plug in a device while wet, and always dry thoroughly before storage. Non-waterproof devices should never be used in water.

How do I properly dispose of my ZEROCHU product? +

For environmental responsibility, remove batteries and dispose of them separately at a battery recycling center. The device itself should be wrapped securely and placed in regular household waste. Consider our recycling program for a more sustainable option. Never flush products down the toilet or dispose of in recycling bins with regular recyclables.
