Try giving a shower and using either "dawn dishwashing soap", "dove liquid body wash" or "oil of Olay" liquid body soap. These are all gentle cleansers and especially the dove and olay brands also have good moisturizers and conditioners. You can use a soft microfiber wash cloth, but bare hands works best for me. May take a couple rotations of wash, rinse, dry and be sure to give her a liberal corn starch powdering as a finishing touch until she is silky smooth, clean and soft again. If that doesn't work your TPE skin perhaps is degraded and "shedding". You can try a good clean brand new 2-3 blade razor and while she is wet and soapy, ever so lightly and carefully, give her a shave to the worst areas. Try in an inconspicuous spot first....remember- whatever you shave won't grow back. Good luck !!

If it doesn't come off with powder. Use a tweezer to pick them off

When showering a doll, I shower the doll headless. I place a thick plastic bag over the neck and seal it tight around the neck with rubber bands in order to prevent water from entering the interior of the doll. I use Dawn soap. Afterwards, I lay her out to dry thoroughly before giving her a powdering. As far as the doll's head/face goes, I only clean it by hand as there is too much potential for damage in the shower.

What about the feet?
I have the stand up option on a 140cm tpe and as much as id love to get her in the shower i just dont know what to do with the 3 metal parts i can see poking outside her feet...

How do you do it?

I read also that i should not leave the insert inside when storing...how long does that mean?

Can i clean and powder her and insert the insert at night to play in the morning?or the next day???

Thanks for all the advices.

Inserting the insert as you specified is perfectly fine. If you putting the doll away for many days at a time, then you want to be sure that the insert is removed.
