VENOM STEELE RESTRAINT CUFFS

Care & Maintenance Guide

01. MATERIAL NOTES

Your cuffs are constructed from industrial-grade rubber. All edges are finished and bonded using flexible glue. Hardware is stainless or corrosion-resistant metal, fastened with screws that can be serviced or locked in permanently. 

02. CLEANING & HYGIENE

Routine Cleaning:
  • Use mild soap and water only.
  • Do not submerge; water exposure around the glued edges will degrade the bond over time.
  • Pat dry thoroughly with a soft towel and allow to air dry fully.
  • For deeper disinfecting, isopropyl alcohol (70% or higher) may be used lightly, but do not scrub aggressively with microfiber — it will dull the rubber’s finish.
After Heavy Use:
  • Clean immediately if exposed to lubricants, bodily fluids, or moisture.
  • Perform a full disassembly if needed. This prevents mold growth or corrosion in hidden areas.
  • Rinse all components individually. Dry completely before reassembly.
Avoid:
  • Acetone, bleach, or harsh solvents
  • Soaking in water or alcohol
  • Abrasive scrub pads
  • High-heat drying

03. STORAGE GUIDELINES

  • Store coiled and unbuckled in the original storage container.
  • Store with a light coating of silicone oil.
  • Keep out of direct sunlight and away from excessive heat or cold.
  • Do not fold the cuffs. Long-term compression or bending will leave permanent indentations or surface warps.

04. MAINTENANCE & LONGEVITY

Hardware Checks:
  • Inspect screws before and after each use.
  • You may lock screws permanently with Loctite or glue if you do not intend to disassemble for deep cleaning.
Rubber Conditioning:
  • Cuffs are safe to treat with silicone oil for shine and preservation.
  • Regular conditioning will maintain surface flexibility and extend the lifespan of the rubber.
Damage Prevention:
  • Do not stack heavy items on top of the cuffs.
  • Avoid contact with sharp or abrasive objects — permanent marks are likely.
  • Under extreme stress, hardware or rubber may fail.

05. SAFETY & COMFORT USE

  • Cuff tightness and wear time should always be guided by the comfort, circulation, and consent of the wearer.
  • Over-tightening can result in nerve or circulation issues — check skin and response regularly during extended use.
  • Cuffs will soften slightly over time, becoming more flexible but retaining their form.

06. NOTES ON DEEP CLEANING

  • For sessions involving significant fluid exposure or long wear periods, deep cleaning is strongly recommended:
    1. Disassemble completely
    2. Rinse and clean all parts
    3. Dry thoroughly
    4. Reassemble with care
