The Charm of Water-Based Lubricants and Staining

The Allure of Silicone-Based Lubricants and Staining
Silicone-based lubes are the real MVPs when it comes to being condom-friendly. Resilient, yes, but they can stain your sheets like crazy. Quick wash is the secret to preventing a major bedsheet catastrophe.
Saving Grace: Prevention and Removal of Lube Stains
Let's talk solutions! Each stain has its game plan, and you're the superhero of this story.
- Oil-Based Obsession: Treat it like a grease stain. Wet, rub with grease-cutting dish soap, let it chill for 30 minutes, then wash with gentle detergent in hot water.
- Water-Based Wonder: Dish soap and hot water for the win. If that fails, white vinegar, rock salt, and a hot water-detergent dance should do the trick.
- Stubborn Silicone Spots: Act fast! Rehydrate, absorb with powder, apply toy cleaner, spritz with a degreaser, rub with dishwashing detergent, wash in hot water, and air-dry if needed. Stain still playing hard to get? No dryer, babe – that can make it permanent. Brush on some cleaning magic, wash, and say goodbye to that stubborn stain.
Guarding Your Sheets Like a Queen
There is not always a need for a laundry to-do list before getting down (and dirty). You could just throw it back to an old-school hack – use towels or a blanket, and your sheets stay stain-free. Easy peasy!
