Re: question of prolonging the TPE from drying out
How do you get dust off your doll? I had a microfibre cloth, but I am afraid of damaging my doll by rubbing too hard.Mr Franz wrote:I just use regular baby oil.
Re: question of prolonging the TPE from drying out
If you use powder/cornstarch afterward, dust shouldn't be a problem. I use a regular wash cloth and an ordinary sponge to clean my doll and pat her dry with a regular towel. Light pressure is all it takes. Hand baby oil rubs I do every 3 or 4 months, lightly dusting with cornstarch once the oil's been absorbed. I also keep my dolls fully clothed most of the time.McPickle wrote:How do you get dust off your doll?

Mr Franz has got it down. I do EXACTLY as he does with the oil wipe. Frequency of every 4 months. Only difference I wipe lightly with a mineral oil dampened sponge(s). Gets some of the gunk that soap and water may not get.Mr Franz wrote:If you use powder/cornstarch afterward, dust shouldn't be a problem.

Stains do not occur leaving her dressed for extended periods. And TPE is just fine. no chalky drying out has occurred anywhere.
I concur with Mr. Franz!!
