Baking soda treatment on dolls?

[nycgal]

I'm wondering how to clean Felicity's face and limbs, they have a little surface dirt and I've never cleaned her before. Has anyone done this without using the cleaner AG sells, and is baking soda the right thing to use? Can you tell me the details? Thanks!

I use baby diaper wipes myself and a tooth brush if I need to get in between the fingers. The soda will get the stuff off too. No worries. But it is the same stuff they sell in the little containers at AG.

Baking soda IS the cleaner that AG sells, lol. I always use baby wipes first, and then if that doesn't get everything off I switch to the baking soda.

I use Baby wipes also. I buy them by the case at Costco. I also use them to clean the ink off my rubber stamps. I have no sink in the craft room so they are also good for me to use to clean my hands. I had sent photo to a online friend in the UK. She saw the baby wipes in the photo and asked me how hold my child was. I told her that she was 38 at the time. We had a good laugh over this.

We purchased the AG cleaner, yes it is baking soda, and for normal dirtiness on the dolls it works wonderful. It doesn't work on stains, though. It is a cute little set, though. My daughter loves to take the bath towels and cleanser and bath her Felicity.

I prefer rubbing alcohol for routine cleaning. It is safe for vinyl and doesn't leave any residue. It also kills germs during cold season.

Do NOT buy AG's cleaner... it really is plain baking soda is a cute little container! I've always sworn by baking soda to clean up my AGs, but for tougher stains, I also try a bit of OxyClean (works on the fabric parts too).

Good luck with your stain fightings... I know how tough those battles can get [img]wink.gif[/img] .
