I was talking with my daughters friends mother who has elizabeth , she is only a few months old, they just bought a new house and when she packed Elizabeth some how orange marker maybe a sharpie got on her face, anyone know of anything that could help or does she need to have the head replaced.. I thought maybe someone might know of a trick, her DD was so upset and crying its her favorite doll..

The best thing to try is acne medicine like oxy10 (or its generic equivalent). Put some on the marker spot, and place the doll in the sun for a while. Wipe the spot, and if it hasn't completely come off, repeat, repeat and repeat. Many of us have had lots of success with this. It's certainly worth a try first, vs. the price of a new head at the doll hospital, plus shipping charges both ways.

Thank you , you girls are amazing... I have to say being a newbie I am adicted!!! The question is gunna be who likes the dolls more me or DD.. they are so pretty... when I first came here I was like NO way would I ever get a doll for myself but being a red head with green eyes I think I want Felicity....growing up with redhair I never really had a doll other then Chrissy ( anyone remember her) with red hair.. So my next present to myself after christmas will be her!!!

I wasn't sure how long to leave it and stuff and didn't want to risk my "good" dolls. So I bought a thrift store 18" Lissi Puppe doll for $1 JUST to practice with the Oxy before I used it on a real AG.

This doll had the WORST ink stains ever. I mean this doll was covered from head to toe with black sharpie and blue ballpoint pen ink. I wish I had taken a "before" picture because 3 weeks of sunlight and alot of Oxy later, she looks brand new. It even took the ink off her white cloth body!

After that worked so well I used it on Sam. This is him before his Oxy 10 facial , a Downy Dunk, and a haircut (there were alot more sharpie marks on his legs and under his bangs)



and.. dun dun dun... AFTER




I L-O-V-E this stuff!
