I've read the TD cleaning guide, but it was more about preventing mold rather than what to do if it gets moldy. First off all, I know that it's on me that my toys got moldy. In my defense, it's hard to wash the toy after every session because I live with my parents. It only got more difficult to find an opportunity to bring the toys to the bathroom for more thorough washings after my aunt and her fiance started living with us during the pandemic. Anyways, what's done is done, and I don't plan on neglecting my toys again. Does anyone have any experiences of successfully getting rid of mold? The onahole in question is the ZXY, so it's the infamous TPE I'm working with. At my disposal I have: Toy Cleaner Fluid, Vinegar, and 70% rubbing alcohol. The guide was saying to use rubbing alcohol, but people were saying that TPE is damaged by solvents (ie alcohol), so not sure about that. Thanks in advance.

@Onimusto Once it's moldy, time to toss it. I have successfully prevented mold in all of my onaholes through the use of an antibacterial soap wash followed by tampon drying or paper towel insert drying, then insertion of an aquarium air pump hose. Dries it out completely and no mold to be found. Also, if you're a collector or a heavy user I recommend purchasing an inexpensive endoscope from Amazon so that you can see what's going on inside your toys.

If there's already mold then it's hard. TPE is a porous material so that if you see mold on the surface, it's just the floating part of an iceberg.
You should just buy a new one instead. These products are not intended to last more than a year unless you are using silicone...

@Onimusto Mold is almost impossible to get rid of due to leftover spores. Just when you think it's clean it'll just pop up from any lotion moisture or worse, spread onto your person. From lab experience, clearing out mold usually requires heavy cleaner/bleach or high heat, which an onahole can't withstand. I wouldn't risk a nasty doctor's visit and just take this as a lesson learned. There are some disposable products on the site or try to sneak the next toy under a towel or dirty clothes. Stay healthy out there

@Onimusto Mold is a very tricky thing to remedy, especially in something as porous as an onahole. Moist, porous environments are excellent conditions for mold to proliferate in, and hellish conditions for us to fix. In many cases, the conditions aren't worth fixing, and you should toss the moldy onahole like you would a moldy sponge.
If you want to sterilize your onahole completely free of mold, you will very likely tarnish the material. Acidic, basic, or alcoholic materials will interact with the material destructively.
Save yourself the time, energy, and frustration. Use this as a chance to try out a new sleeve.

I've read that leaving white vinegar inside for upwards of an hour or more should get rid of mold.
As for your situation, I suggest draining out your toys afterwards into a towel or whatever. After use, place it upside down somewhere (under a towel) and let it drain/air dry over night.
Depending on the size of your toy and your dedication, you could also set up a cleaning station within your room. Just gotta find some vessels for water.
