How to clean a stain on your doll

REMOVE STAINS – IDENTIFY THE TYPE OF STAIN

TPE (thermoplastic elastomer) is a delicate material that can be easily damaged, especially by wet clothing or clothing worn for too long, particularly if they are dark in color.

Grease, marker, or dirt stains 

What is the origin of the stain on your doll? Is it grease? Ink from a low-quality fabric? Some stains are easy to clean, while others, like those caused by fabric ink, require more work to remove.

  • If the stain is small: It can be lightened with lukewarm water and soap. Avoid rubbing your doll's skin, as this could damage it. Gently dab the affected area with a clean cloth.

  • If the stain is not caused by clothing: You can use a small amount of petroleum jelly applied to a towel. Gently rub the area to remove the stain with a microfiber cloth.

  • If the stain is due to a garment: In this case, we recommend using a stain removal paste. This unique formula is specially designed to effectively eliminate stains caused by clothing.

To address this last problem, WM Dolls, for example, offers a stain remover specially designed for TPE. This product works in just a few minutes, but it is important to note that it is primarily effective for stains caused by clothing. If the stain comes from a more stubborn source, such as paint or a permanent marker, its effectiveness may be limited.

To find this "TPE stain remover", do your research on Google.

Before we begin:

  • Make sure the doll is clean.
  • Remove any dust, hair, or other impurities that may interfere with the action of the stain remover.

Manual :

  1. The stain remover comes in the form of a white cream. Apply a small amount directly to the stained area.
  2. If you apply the cream with your fingers, wash your hands thoroughly after use. For added safety, it is advisable to wear latex gloves.
  3. Let it act for about 4 hours. You will notice that the color begins to gradually fade.

For better results, follow these steps carefully and handle your doll with care to preserve its quality.
