Low Maintenance Superstar of Beauty-Tech World
LUNA™ is a one-time investment, and its benefits justify the price. One of the remarkable things about FOREO’s most popular device is that its maintenance is something you will not even notice you’re doing.
However, we have put down a few important yet straightforward tips on keeping your device in tip-top shape. The steps are easy: keep your LUNA™ clean and dry while not using it, and choose the right cleanser while using it.
Keep Your LUNA™ Clean
LUNA™ devices are made of ultra-hygienic food-grade silicone that is bacteria-resistant. It is also 100% waterproof, free of BPA and phthalates, easy to clean, and non-porous to prevent bacteria buildup. The silicone touchpoints are so soft and smooth that they’re suitable for all skin types.
Made entirely of ultra-hygienic silicone, your LUNA™ doesn’t require much in terms of cleaning. To keep the device in the best condition and for it to last for years, the recommendation is to clean it after use. Wash the brush surface with water and soap, then rinse with warm water. Avoid using clay-based, silicone-based, or grainy cleansers, exfoliators, or scrubs, as they may damage the device’s soft silicone touchpoints. Pat dry with a lint-free cloth or towel. For the ultimate no-fuss clean, you can give your LUNA™ a few spritzes of FOREO’s silicone cleaning spray to help extend the life of the silicone. After the use of spray, you should rinse the device with warm water.
You should never use cleaning products containing alcohol, petrol, or acetone, as they may irritate the skin and damage the silicone.
Keep Your LUNA™ Dry
In addition to being bacteria-resistant, silicone is quick-drying. But you can help things along – once it’s clean, simply pat LUNA™ dry with a lint-free cloth or towel.
When you don’t use your device, put it away from the surfaces that get wet or humid. Don’t forget, if you want your LUNA™ to live long and prosper, please ensure it stays on a dry surface and in a dry environment to prevent silicone damage or discoloration.

I have the Foreo Luna Mini 2. I follow all the instructions of washing it and drying it after every use, but there’s no way of fully drying the spaces in between each bristle, so there is hard water deposit in between the bristles. I tried using a toothbrush to brush in between them, but it didn’t completely remove the hard water deposit. Maybe because the toothbrush wasn’t stiff enough. Is it safe to use denture tablets (only submerge the bristles part, and not the plug)?
Don’t worry, Serena. You can just keep your device in the bedroom on the counter and allow it to air dry.
I managed to connect my Foreo Luna 3 to my phone via Bluetooth but I can’t get the cleansing mode to work! How can I get it to start working? I’ve tried pressing the button again and nothing happened… Also, the charging port doesn’t have a cover… is this normal?
Hello Marissa, don’t worry, it’s normal for the charging port to not have a cover. Please note that you are not supposed to connect your Luna 3 with your phone, you need to connect it with our FOREO For You APP while your Bluetooth is on. If you need any help please send an email to customercare@foreo.com.
Hi,
Can I clean my Foreo device with bleach if I don’t have the Silicone Cleaning Spray?
Hi Nic, We wouldn’t recommend using bleach as this will damage the silicone of your device. Please always follow the recommendations but if you are unsure then get in touch with our Customer Care Team on foreo.com for more information. Hope the helps :)
Hello can i use my skinseuticals cleansers with my luna 3? The cleansers contains salycilic acid and glycolic acid.
Hi Rana, Thank you for your message. We would recommend that you stay clear of the Glycolic acid on your device as this may damage it over time. I hope this helps :)

Dear Dami, Thank you for your kind words! We are happy to hear this has helped :)
Can I use any hygiene spray for home, e.g. Sagrotan, to clean my Foreo Luna 3?
Its best to use a mild cleanser that will not deteriorate the silicone and it’s best to stay away from alcohol as this can also irritate the skin.
i lost the charger for my Luna 3. where can i buy another one i live in singapore?
Hi Viviane, Sorry to hear that but don’t worry you can purchase one from foreo.com or contact customer care who can point you in the right direction.
Hi. Can i leave my luna play plus in toilet that have water heater? Does it cause any damage to my foreo?
Hi! The bathroom is not the best place to keep your FOREO device in general, we would kindly recommend keeping your device in a dry environment. :)
My Foreo has developed 2 puffed round areas on the moisturizer side.
Dear Barbara, we recommend that you contact our Customer Care Team as this can assist you further with this but it appears that the moisturizer or cleanser may have damaged the Silicone of the device.
Do I wash my Foreo with anti-bacterical wash like Dettol with warm water?
Hi Lauren this maybe a little harsh on the silicone over time so please follow the TLC tips on looking after your device
Is it actually good or suitable when I use my facial cleansing gel to clean my Foreo device regularly instead of using silicone cleaning spray?
We recommend the silicone cleaning spray to help with keeping your LUNA in tip top shape but if you can not get your hands on it right away then a mild facial wash would be good to use for the time being. Hope this helps :)
Superbly written article, if only all bloggers offered the same content as you, the internet would be a far better place..
Thank you for your kind words and we are happy to hear that you enjoyed our article.
My Foreo Luna MIni 3 has little bits of black dirt in between the bristles and even using a toothbrush or a baby wipe won’t get rid of it? I don’t know what it is or whether I should throw it away if it is mould? I have been enjoying the Luna but the dirt is making me nervous cause it won’t come off.
Hi Alex, Thank you for your post. In this case, we would recommend storing your LUNA in a dry, well-ventilated environment and to clean with a mild cleanser and brush after use. Bathrooms are not the best place to store your device due to the humidity and moisture levels and we recommend that you dry your device after each use with a lint-free towel.
Hi, I would like to know if I can use jojoba oil with the massaging side of my Luna 3
Dear Carol, Thank you for your post! We would recommend not to use high oil-based products with your devices as this may damage the silicone. Therefore maybe a natural serum that is Glycerin rich when using the massage mode. Hope this helps :)
Hi, on upper comment, you recommend not to use cleanser that is oil-based, clay-based, or have exfoliated. I have oily skin, so idk how to avoid using oil cleansers. Also what main ingredients in cleanser that I should avoid the most?
Hi Miki, Yes we recommend to stay clear of these cleansers that have a high content of theses ingredients so if you use an oil-based cleanser then we recommend that you use this separately before the use of your device. The main ingredient we recommend avoiding is silicone in the cleansers.
Hi,
I have been using the Foreo mini 2 for more than a year and I can that my skin condition has been improved a lot. But in recent weeks a started seeing there’s some dark dirt in the lower part of the cleaning side. I’m not sure what could be the reason, cuz I have been using the same cleanser, I let it air dry and didnt use anything harsh to clean the bristles. Could you help me figure out how to fix this? Because I’m afraid these dark dirt could cause acne to my skin.
Hi Hang Mai, You can try cleaning your device with our Silicone Cleaning Spray in combination with an old toothbrush and apply force while scrubbing. You can find our Silicone Cleaning Spray under this link => https://www.foreo.com/silicone-cleaning-spray or a mild cleanser.
It is also recommended to keep your device in a dry well-ventilated environment. I don’t know if it’s your case, but usually, the bathroom is not the best place for keeping your FOREO device. So please clean, dry and store your devices after each use to prevent build-up.
I need help with cleaning my Foreo.
It looks like it developed black mold in it and I’ve tried to scrub it.

I’ve got bits of towel stuck between the bristles on my Luna mini 3, how can I remove these without damaging the silicone?
Hello Lauren! Please clean your Luna with mild soap and lukewarm water. Rinse it and allow your device to air dry properly :-)
Hi, may I know how often should I clean the foreo with soap and water?
Hi there! We recommend cleaning your FOREO device thoroughly after each use. Wash the brush surface with water and soap, then rinse with warm water. Make sure to never expose it to extreme heat or boiling water though. Best regards :)
Are Tachta’s rice wash cleanser & Youth to the People’s superfood antioxidant cleanser safe to use on my face with Foreo devices?
Dear Lisa, please note that we do not recommend using Tatcha Rice Wash Cleaner as it contains alcohol. However, at the first glance of the Youth to the People’s cleanser, we would say it is safe to use with your FOREO devices. Do take another look to the ingredients, to be completely sure. To keep your device in optimal condition, avoid clay-based, silicone-based, or grainy cleansers and cleansers that contain alcohol, Glycolic acid and oils, as they may damage the silicone. Hope this helps! Take care :)
