| Cateogory: Dolls -> Helpful hints |
| Name: cleaning & maintenance |
| Description: CLEANING: supplies needed---Comet or Ajax cleaner with a small flat dish; used toothbrush with med-hard bristles; pleasantly scented shampoo & conditioner; fine toothed comb; towels. Dawn & Pippa dolls are easily cleaned. (JPI Starr dolls need a bit of extra care with their hair. The vinyl on their faces & legs can be cleaned this way, but their hair gets frizzy & tangled easily, loosing their original style if heavily combed.) Get your doll wet in warm water, wet your toothbrush, place a small amount of Comet or Ajax in the flat dish, dip toothbrush in the cleanser, and start scrubbing! The face paint on the dolls will not come off on most of the dolls. Scrub thoroughly on all parts, especially under the chin & legs. Most of the grime will come off, even on their arms! Rinse---shampoo--rinse--condition their hair letting set for several minutes---rinse--comb hair--place on towel to dry---after dolls are dry, recomb their hair & dress. It really is amazing how much dirt will come off this way & your dolls will look great. |
