Niels van der Voort Gives Vice the Dirty Details on Sex Toy Care
(Boise, ID / November 10, 2026) – Niels van der Voort, founder of MotsuGroup, the company behind Onahole.com, shares his product care expertise in a new Vice article, “How to Clean Men’s Sex Toys, Because ‘It Looked Dry’ Is NOT the Move”, offering practical advice on proper cleaning, maintenance and storage.
Written by Sam Watanuki, the feature brings together advice from sexual health professionals and product specialists, with van der Voort explaining how improper care can lead to sticky surfaces, unpleasant odors, cracking and mold. He recommends cleaning toys immediately after every use with lukewarm water and mild, unscented soap or a suitable toy cleaner, while avoiding harsh chemicals that can damage softer materials.
“Mold doesn’t care if the outer shell feels dry,” van der Voort tells Vice, emphasizing the importance of thoroughly drying toys inside and out before storing them. He also advises allowing products to air dry in a well-ventilated space and knowing when to replace items showing signs of deterioration, including persistent odors, damaged surfaces or mold.
Drawing on nearly two decades in the Japanese adult novelty business, van der Voort brings a manufacturer’s perspective to the discussion, helping consumers understand how everyday maintenance can protect their purchases and extend product life.
