How do I clean the head of my Hitachi Magic Wand?
The Magic Wand which, fun fact, no longer uses the Hitachi brand name though it is still produced by the company is motorized and runs on electricity, which means you must never ever ever submerge it in water. Generally speaking, that’s the rule of thumb for motorized toys (some, however, are waterproof and obviously those are A-OK to submerge), where non-motorized toys can be submerged in water for cleaning purposes. Another general rule of thumb is never to clean any of your toys with anything you wouldn’t put in your body, which means things like bleach and hand sanitizer are out. And actually? Most of the time just good old soap and water is all you need.
With the Wand though, things are even easier than that: For regular cleaning, a wash cloth soaked with hot water and wrung out well so that it is just damp and not wet or dripping is all you’ll need. Just wipe the head off and you’re done. That should be done after every use.
If you’ve never cleaned the Wand’s head, you may need to do a deeper clean the first go, in which case follow those same instructions but add the tiniest amount of a mild soap to the mix. That will help to remove any build-up of fluids and the appearance of grime. Then wipe with a clean, damp wash cloth to remove any excess soap. And there you have it, a clean Wand!
