Cleaning advice for Latex Lover?
My doll is really old and I don't want the original makeup to rub off any more than it already has.
Thanks in advance!

Hand soap - an ordinary bar of soap?
Methylated spirits perhaps?

Re: Cleaning advice for Latex Lover?
She was in storage for many years... improper storage, I'm sorry to admit. So after rediscovering her, I want to clean her up and save her.
I had other latex dolls that couldn't be saved (the skins rubber rotted or disintegrated) but Latex Lover? Built like a tank!

If you ever want to sell her there will be many prospective purchasers here.

Re: Cleaning advice for Latex Lover?
Don't even think of that.... Instead, think of how much fun *2* would be. An inflatable on one side of you and a solid doll under the other.Acroyear wrote:Thanks again for the advice, I'll refrain from applying anything other than water then. I was thinking of replacing her with a solid doll... but I'm taking my time looking at all the options. She'll be with me for a little while yet.
"But what would I do with 2??" Dammit man, that is for you to figure out on your own! Its lots of fun to try!

Congrats on the Latex Lover - and joining the doll community - DarkOne -
All the posts seem like good advice - I to use just warm water flush when in the shower - as this doll has a thicker skin than most air babes - she should be very long lasting for you
After a thorough warm water flush I too let her air dry - note I do all this cleaning with the doll deflated - maybe others do it with her inflated - but I always clean her when she is deflated - allows for more complete access for the warm water and air later for drying - I do also use a soft microfiber towel absorb any excessive water after
Also - follow the out of direct sunlight advice - its a fact latex does break down under UV light from the sun - trust me she doesn't need a tan - she is fine as is
Happy Trails -

That reminds me, a long time ago I was cleaning an inflated cheaper doll with warm water and suddenly realized it was expanding from the heated air inside! That was kind of scary.
Re: Cleaning advice for Latex Lover?
Unless the water was excessively hot (painful to touch) or she already badly overinflated, this is normal and not really a risk. For PVC rather very cold overinflation is dangerous. In warm state it is fairly elastic (but less than latex). For latex water heat above body temperature or aggressive soaps should be avoided, because this may make it turn brown or decompose over time.Acroyear wrote:That reminds me, a long time ago I was cleaning an inflated cheaper doll with warm water and suddenly realized it was expanding from the heated air inside!

In my bathroom are several PVC inflatable dolls (superhero, mannequin etc.) those react noticeably on weather temperature and barometric pressure. When I shower them to remove collected dust, they expand a bit if water is luke warm, and collapse when water is cold. (I prefer cold anyway to conserve energy.)

Re: Cleaning advice for Latex Lover?
You're right, but it was still a surprise to me at the time. Plus, that doll had a history of leaks and thin spots on her skin that I didn't want to become more of a problem. I don't have that doll anymore; it was one of several that didn't survive my poor storage.Unless the water was excessively hot (painful to touch) or she already badly overinflated, this is normal and not really a risk.
