Am I wrong in assuming silicon has nowhere near the maintenance requirements?

About the same actually. most difference is the babyoil rub down. All dolls collect dust. So all dolls need to be washed regularly.

I thought you weren't supposed to use oils on silicone. Just wash with water and apply baby powder.

1. Removal of production residues (release agent + residual aromatic hydrocarbons during casting)
wash the doll 5-6 times / as long as there is no chemical smell left

2. Thin mineral oil treatment
because we washed the doll several times and mineral oil also binds remaining production residues inside the TPE structure

3. Thick powdering and the doll rests for the whole night with that thick powder cover
powder works in addition to soak out remaining production residues that are now bond in the fresh mineral oil

Do not soak in a tub

As a new owner I would like to make an Addition to this post due to finding problems that arn't in the OP and a few extras.
(1st pic below)
1.Any microfiber towels you use should be nice and soft. And are a good alternative to a sponge. As is a washcloth so long as you are gentle. I found that car detailing MF towels are quite good for this.

2. Get yourself a container for your baby powder. Makes getting it on the brush so much easier.

3. Separate spray bottles. For cleaning I have 2. One with my soapy water mix and one thats just water (bottled water if your tap water isn't the best) Be careful around the metal of your doll. Don't let water or soapy water sit on it to long.

4. Try your best to get unscented baby oil

5. same with your baby powder.

6. I use a mix of hand soap and dawn antibacterial soap. Works great when I was first days washing my doll.

7. The is one I don't see anywhere. Get yourself a small spray bottle for your baby oil. Using the actual bottle of baby oil to do your oiling is a lesson in futility. Much easier to spray it on before rubbing it in. Also makes it easier to apply if you plan on using it as Lube.

8. (2nd picture My YL150 doll all oiled up) And lastly. I found that the hanging rig made cleaning/oiling/powdering a much easier endeavor. You can spin your doll around as you go and get everything at once at any angle. Instead of doing one side then having to flip her over. As I found. Dolls are heavy. If she is hanging and you see you missed a spot its an easy fix. Not so much with the flip method. Just make sure that when spinning your doll you are not getting to the end of the threads on the hanging rig. Last thing you need is you doll falling on the floor when all oiled up.


Now when it comes to cleaning the head. All the above in the OP works well but Id like to add something here. The eyes of your doll are nothing more than plastic in a lens shape and some cotton behind them. I personally took my dolls eyes out and cleaned in those areas as well. Remember, there is nothing sealing the eye sockets. So any water and oil that got in there is still in there. I'd hate for someones doll head getting filled with mold for not knowing this. Just be careful. I don't plan on doing this all that often as I don't want to find out how to put on eye lashes.

I found in another thread. When it comes to insert vaginas if properly cleaned and oiled. you can put in the insert and leave it there. (Totally up to you tho) And also having a dowel of some kind. Made of plastic. Or a cooking spoon handle makes getting the insert in there much easier. And ensure you use alot of baby oil.

After I powdered her then it becomes better but still tacky between the fingers.
