The most important thing to do when cleaning a pocket or fleshlight pussy is thoroughly rinsing it, particularly around the areas where the internal canal exits. Hold the sleeve vertically under hot water. Using the middle and index fingers of both hands, squeeze and rub the sleeve, while washing it to break up the soap into suds.
