Cleaning after use is essential for hygiene and longevity, and it can be done effectively without harsh chemicals. Start by removing any detachable parts or accessories that could trap moisture or harbor residues. Rinse the surfaces with warm water to loosen debris, then use a mild, pH-balanced cleanser designed for sensitive materials. Avoid alcohol-heavy solutions or solvents that could degrade the skin-like textures or lubricants.
Gently wipe all surfaces with a soft cloth, paying attention to joints and seams where buildup can occur. For more thorough care, consider a gentle, silicone-safe brush to dislodge grime from crevices without scratching. After washing, dry thoroughly with a lint-free towel and allow any hidden moisture to evaporate in a well-ventilated area. If the doll has internal mechanics or seams, inspect for leaks or wear, and consult the manual for recommended maintenance steps.
Lubricants and cleaners compatible with the doll’s material should be used sparingly and according to the product guidelines. Store the doll in a clean, dry environment away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures, which can cause material degradation over time. Regular care routines—cleaning after use, periodic deep cleans, and routine checks—help maintain realism and preserve the doll’s texture and structural integrity for years of use.
