Here is a non-exhaustive list of tips to take good care of your doll.

✽ Keep your dolls out of sunlight as much as possible. Store them in a place where the sunlight doesn't reach! This is to prevent yellowing.

✽ If the hair gets greasy or oily, a gentle wash in warm water with dish soap can help. Try to touch your doll's hair less with your hands, and always wash your hands before styling doll hair. Get your dolls their own comb. Always comb from the bottom upwards to avoid pulling out hairs.

✽ Never use acetone on your doll's face, as this will melt the plastic.

✽ Black and red fabrics are particularly prone to staining your doll's body. If you notice dark blue stains on your doll, you can use 10% benzoyl peroxide cream. Apply the cream to the stain and wrap with plastic wrap to keep from drying. Leave overnight and check in the morning to see if you need to reapply.
