Effective cleaning starts with mild, non-abrasive soap and warm water. A pH-balanced, silicone-safe cleaner designed for delicate materials is ideal for routine cleansing, followed by thorough rinsing to remove all residue. Avoid harsh solvents, alcohol, acetone, or petroleum-based products, which can degrade skin texture or color. For thorough sanitization, use a soft cloth to wipe the surface and ensure the interior cavities stay dry after rinsing. After cleaning, pat dry gently with a clean towel and allow any remaining moisture to air-dry before reassembly or storage.
For stubborn stains, test any cleaner on an inconspicuous area first and use a gentle scrub with minimal pressure. Never pry apart seams or use abrasive tools. If you’re unsure about a product’s compatibility, consult the manufacturer’s care guidelines or a professional technician. Regular, careful cleaning extends the life of the doll and preserves its lifelike appearance, while avoiding harsh chemical exposure that could shorten its lifespan.
