The correct cleaning and maintenance methods are essential, for your doll to live a long and healthy life. So far we have covered what do to, below are a list of things to avoid when cleaning.
Using any old cleaning agent- There are certain cleaning products that will have a negative reaction to TPE. Antibacterial soap is recommended. If you are unsure about a cleaning agent, please contact us before using it.
Keep away from sharp objects – TPE is a very delicate material, which can tare easily. When storing or cleaning the doll, keep away from anything sharp.
Keep the head above water – as there are sections on the dolls face which need to remain dry, the head must never be fully submerged underwater.
Dry with care – TPE can easily tare when drying. As the TPE will be warmer than usual, please take extra care, as the material is more susceptible at this temperature. Only use a dry cloth for drying, remembering not to apply too much pressure.
It is very important that your doll dries naturally. Under no circumstances should any electric air dryer be used as this will damage the doll.
