Cleaning Your Butt Shower: How to Care for Your Intimate Shower the Right Way
In a hurry?
Every two weeks: 10 ml of ActiveCare+ into the bottle, top up with lukewarm water, wait two hours, go over it with the cleaning brush, rinse out, and let it dry uncovered. Household remedies will do in a pinch. Don't boil it, and don't put it in the dishwasher.
Cleaning a butt shower is part of using one. Not out of worry. Out of principle.
Over time, water leaves residue behind. That's why every reusable bottle needs care. Cleaning it regularly keeps things hygienic, prevents buildup, and extends the life of your butt shower.
It's no big deal. You just have to do it.
How Often Should You Clean a Butt Shower?
You should clean your butt shower about every two weeks.
With very hard water, a shorter interval can make sense. What matters is consistency. Don't wait until you can see something building up.
Care is easier than catching up.
Thorough Cleaning With the Cleaning Brush and ActiveCare+
If you want a systematic solution that's gentle on the material, a cleaner made for the butt shower is the way to go.
ActiveCare+ was developed specifically for cleaning the bottle. It dissolves residue effectively and is matched to the material.
Regularly:
Clean every two weeks and there's less to dissolve.
Thoroughly:
Dissolves light buildup inside the bottle.
Rinse afterwards:
ActiveCare+ was developed for the bottle. Rinse thoroughly with clear water before using it again.
- Add 10 ml of ActiveCare+ to the bottle
- Fill up with lukewarm water
- Let it sit for 2 hours
- Clean the inside thoroughly with the matching cleaning brush
- Rinse with clear water until nothing smells or foams anymore
Considering that the bottle is in regular contact with water and made for long-term use, a cleaner designed for it is often the smarter choice.
If you want to keep things simple in the long run, go with the cleaning brush and ActiveCare+.
Cleaning Your Butt Shower With Household Remedies
If you want to clean your butt shower with household products, that's easy enough:
- Add about 10 ml of mild soap or vinegar water (diluted, not undiluted) to the bottle
- Fill up with lukewarm water
- Let it sit for around 2 hours
- Clean the inside thoroughly with a narrow bottle brush
- Rinse with clear water until nothing smells or foams anymore
Household remedies dissolve light buildup. But make sure they don't attack the material over the long term.
Drying It Properly: The Crucial Step
After every cleaning, the bottle should dry completely.
If you simply turn it upside down, a little water stays inside. You won't see it right away, but the moisture is still there.
- Put a small, clean cloth into the bottle
- Shake it firmly for a moment
- Remove the cloth
- Leave the bottle open to finish drying
That removes the residual moisture too.
Less moisture means less buildup. And a longer life.
Frequently asked questions
How often should you clean a butt shower?
About every two weeks, more often if your water is very hard. Don't wait until you can see something.
Can you put a butt shower in the dishwasher or boil it?
No. Heat can damage the material. Lukewarm water, a brush, and patience.
What can I use to clean my butt shower?
ActiveCare+ and the cleaning brush, or, if needed, mild soap or diluted vinegar water. Let it sit for two hours, brush it out, and rinse thoroughly with clear water.
How do you dry a butt shower properly?
Put a small clean cloth into the bottle, shake it well, take the cloth out, and leave it open to air. Just turning it upside down leaves water inside.
Do these instructions apply to other butt showers too?
The principle does: clean regularly, rinse thoroughly, let it dry. What the material can handle is up to the respective manufacturer.
