Re: Advice needed - Removing stains caused by black dress
Here is a video of the creator of Realdolls himself talking about how even the color that should stay on the doll will fade away if you rub off the seal

In the future try to wash the items before dressing your doll up for the big night out

Re: Advice needed - Removing stains caused by black dress
As DM says, it'll just go on it's own over time. I had it on my Agnetha from silicone stockings hold-ups which took a couple of months to go.deerman wrote:take the dress off and if is a silicone doll the color will be gone a week or two.
Re: Advice needed - Removing stains caused by black dress
I don't own my doll for too long yet, but had two instances of staining, thanks to reading this thread well before I did not freak out.
Instead I tried something new, after the advice that a little powder may help.
I took this to the power and used a lot of corn starch (which I prefer over baby powder).
I have taken two old nylon stockings inside each other (one doubled up should work as well).
This double nylon stocking I filled with corn starch so it becomes a size roughly between a tangerine and an orange.
Then closed this off with a knot, so the starch can just dripple out through the double nylon.
I use this as well to powder the doll after a bath - just gently wiping it over the doll gives her a nice powder without messing dust everywhere.
On staints I use it with "gentle more force" going back and forth over the staint.
(I would not do on the colored parts - to not wipe off the silicone sealing).
Using this method I got 70-90% of the color off and the light remaining (bruise like) staints wore off in a matter of days.
This is based on only two tests so far - your mileage may vary .
Obviously the corn starch is used up over time, so refill once every while .
Re: Advice needed - Removing stains caused by black dress
I put a pair of black armlaces on my doll but left marks.
bathed once a week or so, put on powder thereafter. It's been a month, I don't see any signs of disappearance. Do I need to wait, or wait or wait? any tips?
and anyone knows how to clean up silicone oil?
Re: Advice needed - Removing stains caused by black dress
Welcome to TDF. Sorry to hear of your trouble. If your doll is silicone, you could try acetone to remove the stain. Acetone is available at most hardware stores. I would HIGHLY recommend that you try a test area first. Not necessarily where the stain is, but on some part that doesn’t show. Like the top of her head, which a wig would cover. Just to be sure the acetone will not make the situation worse. Use a soft cotton ball and do not rub. Just pat the area with the soaked cotton and then dry by patting with dry cotton. Acetone evaporates quickly on it’s own. The idea is to lift the stain from the skin to the cotton. Any sort of rubbing can damage the skin.
Good luck and please let us know if you need more help.
Regards,
Jiayi
