Care guide

General information
When the dolls are laid aside for a longer time, it can then accrue an oil leakage to the surface where the doll was placed. This is because oil is contained in the silicone or the TPE formula. By help of powdering the dolls with talcum or cornstarch can prevent the oil from staining to another surface. The powder makes the surface of the doll very smooth and can prevent the dust from sticking.

Cleaning the surface
Clean the surface of the doll gently by using a sponge or towel with warm water. You can add soap to remove dirt or anything that is sticking to the surface. Be also very careful around the eyelashes and eyebrows when cleaning the face. When the doll is clean, let the doll dry before you apply the powder. Important! Wear a mask while applying the powder to the doll. 

Maintenance of the joints
Avoid highly bent joints for a long period of time. It can cause wrinkles and creases that can appear on its surface. The best way to prevent this is to store the doll the same way it came. You can also connect the doll to a stand without being afraid of damaging the doll while storing it. Wrinkles and creases can disappear after a while. Highly twisted joints can also damage the silicone.

Makeup on the doll
Silicone dolls are painted with permanent makeup that usually won't come off if the doll is handled carefully. Using too much force when wiping the doll can make the makeup fade away. Many of today's brands are applying a thin silicone coating that increases the lifespan of the makeup. TPE dolls don't have the same possibility of being painted the same way, and therefore the paint can easily fade.

Storage environment
To prevent any damage to the silicone or the internal skeleton that can accrue, you will need a good storage environment for the doll.
1. The doll should not be exposed to direct sunlight like any other product.
2. The doll can be sticky and gather dust with static electricity. Powder the doll and avoid dusty places.
3. Moisty environments should be avoided because the dolls have spongy foam around the skeleton to lower the weight. The sponge can start to absorb the water if the doll is exposed for a longer time.
4. Avoid clothing that can stain the doll, especially dyed leather. Please wash the clothes 3-4 times before putting it on.
5. Storage temperature should be around 5-35C.
6. Storing the doll compressed or squeezed will damage the doll.

Dolls are very fragile and heavy products. They shall be handled with care to avoid certain damages. Avoiding sharp objects near the doll and preventing the water from getting inside are some of the most important things.
