TPE material dolls can be cleaned up by using warm water and mild soap, vinegar and olive oil, and alcohol after getting dusty.
Use warm water and mild soap
Preparation tools: Before you start, make sure you have some basic cleaning tools: warm water, neutral soap, a soft bristle brush, a clean towel and cotton balls.
Warm Water Cleaning: Pour an appropriate amount of warm water into a basin and add a small amount of neutral soap. Stir until the soap is dissolved. Wet a towel in this soapy water and wring it out.
Gently rub: Gently rub the wet towel over the soiled area. Do not rub too hard as this may damage the surface of the material. If the stain is more serious, you can wipe it several times repeatedly.
Deep Cleaning: For stubborn stains that are difficult to remove, use a soft-bristled brush dampened and gently brushed. However, please note that the brush should not be too hard so as not to scratch the material.
Clean up poly grease stains: Sometimes, certain parts of the body (such as hands, feet, etc.) may become slightly sticky or tacky. You can use a cotton ball dipped in a small amount of warm water to gently wipe over the sticky areas.
Towel Dry: Once the dirt has been cleaned off, gently dry the surface of the material with a clean towel. Make sure it is completely dry before putting away the doll to prevent bacteria from growing.
Use vinegar and olive oil
Mix vinegar and olive oil together in a ratio of three parts olive oil to one part vinegar.
Pour the mixture into a spray bottle and spray the surface of the material, then wipe it with a clean cloth.
The olive oil will restore the material’s shine, while the vinegar will eliminate odors and sterilize it.
Use Alcohol
Alcohol is an effective cleaner to remove dirt and stains from TPE surfaces.
Take a clean cloth, dip it in a small amount of alcohol and wipe the contaminated part.
Be careful not to use too much alcohol when wiping to avoid corrosion of the material.
When cleaning the TPE material, make sure to follow the principle of cleaning the surface of the material and avoid using detergents that contain too many chemicals. To maintain the quality and appearance of the material, avoid excessive use and soaking of the material.
