Daily cleaning method

Surface dust removal

Tools: soft brush, vacuum cleaner (with small suction head).

Steps:

Gently brush away the dust on the surface.

Use a vacuum cleaner at low speed to suck away the dust in the gaps (avoid pulling the fluff forcefully).

 

Local stain treatment

Stain type

Cleaning solution

Precautions

Food oil stains

Neutral detergent + warm water pat

Do not rub hard to avoid discoloration

Ink marks

Wipe gently with alcohol cotton pad (test in an inconspicuous place first)

Applicable only to short-haired materials

Dust clumps

Sprinkle baking soda, let it stand for 10 minutes and then brush it off

Use with caution on dark fabrics, it may leave white marks

Deep Cleaning Guide

Hand wash (recommended)

Pretreatment: Use a soft brush to remove surface dust.

Soak: Add cold water + neutral detergent to a basin and soak for 10 minutes.

Gently scrub: Focus on cleaning dirty areas and avoid pulling stitches.

Rinse: Rinse with clean water until there is no foam.

Dehydration: Use a towel to press dry water, do not wring (it will cause the filling to clump).

Drying: Hang in a ventilated place to dry in the shade, away from direct sunlight (ultraviolet rays will fade).

 

Risk Tips for Machine Washing

Only for dolls marked "machine washable" on the label, need to put in a laundry bag + select the gentle mode.

High-speed dehydration may cause deformation or unraveling.

Drying and shaping techniques

Restore the fluffy feeling

Tools: hair dryer (cold wind setting), wide-tooth comb.

Steps:

Blow the hair dryer at low speed to brush the fluff, and comb it with a comb at the same time.

Pat the stuffing gently to avoid local dents.

 

Maintaining the stuffing

If the doll becomes flat, open the back seam and add PP cotton or memory foam (keep the original stuffing to maintain the feel).

Storage precautions

Short-term storage

Place in a breathable cloth bag to avoid plastic bags (which are easy to produce moldy smells).

Add moisture-proof bags or camphor wood blocks to prevent insects and mold.

 

Long-term storage

Clean and dry thoroughly.

Put on a non-woven dust cover.

Put in a cool and dry storage box, and do not press heavy objects (which will cause deformation).
