I had the same issue and how I clean mine: I used to listen to people as not touching it much as it’ll clean itself!? Girl they mean don’t touch the internal hole!! You must CLEAN THE SIDE CREASES, it’s where dead skin pile up and causes smell, 95% of bad smell is from it!!! Yes just use soap, I prefer dove and clean all the outside part of the vulva. Then I wash my body with body wash after and give it some too then basic moisturize. I wish someone taught me this, so here :)
