Cleaning tips...
I have a small tub that fits about 3 dolls usually I'll fill it with warm water and Oxy Clean powder sometimes I add aliitle
body wash for a nice smell.Usually that will get rid of alot of stains sometimes I use an old tooth brush to scrub them the
hands and feet are usually dirtiest.I also use the Mr.Clean Magic eraser be careful not to rub to hard on bald heads.After
they are dry usually the get a quick spray of Febreeze spray.
Hair the cornsilk girls I use regular shampoo and conditioner.I try not to blow dry the hair I'm afraid to damage it.
Yarn hair kids same thing if I'm just washing the hair regular shampoo and conditioner.I prefer to cut the fuzzies when
hair is dry.Just defuzzing can make them look a whole lot better.
Pox is a deformity in the plastic.I have 2 kids one is a bean bag.The other is a regular size kid.
