Handling Basics
- Always handle your doll with clean, dry hands.
- Support the doll at the torso and hips when lifting
- Avoid holding the doll by hands, feet, or head
- Handle over a soft surface whenever possible
Storage and Display
- Avoid direct sunlight and high heat
- Store in a cool dry place when not on display
- Keep away from pets, small children, and high-traffic areas where falls are more likely
Stain Prevention
- Resin can stain, especially from dark fabrics and heavily dyed clothing such as denim
- To help prevent staining:
- Avoid dark or highly saturated fabrics directly against the resin
- Use white lined garments or protective layers when possible
- Limit long-term wear of dark clothing
- Check high-contact areas regularly such as hands, bust, feet, and waist/bum area
Stain Removal Options
Staining may not always be fully removable, but many stains can be reduced with careful treatment. Do not use acetone or isopropyl alcohol as it can strip sealant, dull the surface, and damage the resin.
- Gentle washing with mild soap and water
- Soft microfiber cloth for surface cleaning
- A melamine sponge used very lightly for buffing
- Acne creams such as 10% benzoyl peroxide
- ALWAYS spot test on a small area
- Use a thin layer only on the stained spot
- Avoid eyes, eyebrows, face-up areas, blushing and painted details
- Stain removal results vary depending on fabric dye and how long the stain set
