So, you've had your fun with GUN OIL® lube, but now it's time to face the music and clean up the battlefield. And let's be honest, it can be a real pain in the ass to get that stuff off. But don't worry soldier, we're here to guide you through the cleanup process, step by step, so you can return to base without any embarrassing stains on your sheets or skin. Let's get this shit done right.
First things first, let's tackle the most critical question: how to wash off silicone lube. Unlike water-based lubes, silicone lubes like GUN OIL® are designed to last. They don't just wash away with a bit of water. This is great for those long, steamy sessions but can be a real SOB when it comes to cleanup.
Start by dragging your ass into the shower. Soap First, Water Second. These two are your only friends now. Always apply soap directly to silicone first, then use water to scrub like you're trying to erase last night's bad decisions. Silicone lube is a stubborn bastard, so you'll probably need to go over the same spots a few times. Focus on where you slathered it on the most, and use a loofah or washcloth to really get in there. Don't half-ass it.
Next up, let's talk about how to wash lube off your sheets. Getting GUN OIL® out of your linens can be a real son of a gun, but it's doable with the right approach.
Before you toss those sheets in the washer, you need to pre-treat the stains. Use liquid soap directly on the stain before washing. Let those bad boys air dry to see if there's still any residue without setting the stain. Hold off to throwing in the dryer until you're sure it's gone.
Add stain remover or a bit of dish soap directly on the spots where the lube has landed. Rub it in gently and let it sit for about 15 minutes. This gives the cleaner a chance to break down the oils.
When you're ready to wash, start with a cold water cycle. Hot water can set the stain, making it even harder to get out. Add your usual detergent, but consider throwing in a bit of baking soda or white vinegar to help lift the oils.
Check your sheets before drying. If the stains are still there, don't throw them in the dryer just yet. Heat will only set the stain further. Run another cold water cycle if necessary.
Sometimes, the battlefield isn't just your skin or sheets. Here's how to tackle washing off lube from other surfaces without losing your mind:
Got lube on your floor or countertops and it's slipperier than a greased pig? Apply your trusty partner, liquid soap, directly to the silicone and rub it together before you clean it up. The soap binds and breaks down the silicone, making it a breeze to remove the enemy.
For fabric and upholstery, blot up as much of the lube as you can. Don't rub it in unless you want it to spread like gossip in the barracks. Use a fabric-safe stain remover and follow the damn instructions. You might need to go a few rounds with this one, but don't give up. Persistence is key, and you're no quitter.
Before we wrap this up, let's talk about the easier brother of silicone lube: washing off water-based lube. The good news is, water-based lube is a piece of cake compared to its silicone counterpart.
Water-based lube dissolves easily in water, so a quick rinse with warm water and soap usually does the trick. No need for special techniques or a PhD in chemistry.
For fabrics, just toss them in the wash with your regular detergent. No need for pre-treatment unless it's a particularly stubborn stain. If it is, then you might need to show it who's boss with some extra detergent or stain remover.
Cleaning up after a wild night with silicone lube might be a bit of a chore, but with these tips, you'll be back to a clean slate in no time. Remember, soldier, cleaning up is just part of the mission. Get it done right so you can get back to what you do best: enjoying the ride. So scrub up, rinse off, and get ready for your next mission. Over and out!
