Unfortunately, no. The idiotic and anti-business Corona measures of our governments have wiped out Indigo's company, like many other SMEs. Only a few large corporations benefited from it.

As of now, none of Indigo's care & repair products are still being manufactured, and all remainders are sold out. Also, there are no replacement products available, just a gaping hole in the supply for doll owners.

Is it still possible to order this stain remover somewhere? Possibly from the EU? I dont find anything anywhere

I think this is my first post on this forum (and my first doll should be shipped any day now).

I have to give thanks to all, mostly to indigo & hansdampf for their awesome study and work on this subject!

I know know how to take care, repair, and remove stains from my future doll.

without this community i would be completely in dark!

Also I love that you can choose quality for this products in the shop, and the only option is "premium"

I hope I can be usefull for this community too later on!

This stuff works. Was too busy for pics. But she turned out beautifully. Not perfectly but great for a first try.
By the way she is a beautiful doll.
Nice and thick application works well.

Hello,

My thoughts exactly. Maybe all the TPE Doll lovers are under shock and unable to comment!

Jokes aside, the results on your doll are nothing less than miraculous. With the TPE repair kit already done, Indigo can now focus on some colors to tattoo or permanent make up our TPE girls. If he also manages to do that, I'll give him the Nobel price for love dolls chemistry.

I agree with you guys, it is spectacular what has happened to the stains on your doll, 5by5. I must admit when I saw your pictures at the start I thought the job would be impossible, they looked so deep!

Guys, this is a GAME CHANGER!!!!!!!

FivebyFive, couldn't agree more... I am a brand new TPE doll owner and have been doing extensive research on clothing, staining, fabrics to avoid, how many washes before safe, etc.

One of the most fun things to do with a doll, (I would imagine) is dress her up and play out your fantasies. This has always been a highly precarious event however, because of the staining. Who wants a permanent blob on their new purchase which cost thousands of dollars?

But this product.... WOW. While you still shouldn't keep your dolls in tight black spandex overnight, this product could make lengthy playtime wearing kinky black lingerie a reality to doll owners everywhere, particularly the TPE community.

So is this stuff for sale yet? I'm buying it as soon as it's out even if I don't have stains (yet!). Because they WILL come.

Hint to vendors: A small container of this stuff should be a mandatory accessory for new dolls, just like nice shirts come with extra buttons and new houses come with a few extra buckets of matching paint. Because staining WILL happen eventually, and this stuff kills it.

Genius. Pure Genius. Indigo, you've made a lasting contribution to the entire doll community. Bravo Sir!!!!!

I must say, I'm a little surprised that there's not more hype for the results here.

Just in case ya'll forgot, the staining on this doll was set in from a day's worth of black lingerie wear, and had been worsened by donning said lingerie again a week or two down the road. Odorless mineral spirits applied directly for over a day did nothing.

A month and a half of stain setting in later, I try Indigo's product and...well, just look! At first I didn't think it was doing much, but the over-time effect after removing the product is actually quite intense. The final pictures are following 2 relatively haphazard applications, simply due to the extent of staining, and one last targeted application using a brush. It took a lot of creme, but the results more than speak for themselves.

Seriously, get hype for this chemical genius. It even got rid of heavily/directly applied Sharpie on the nips/areolas! You can clearly experiment to your heart's content with this stuff as your backup.

if this is not a miracle product I don't know! For me who loves black shiny spandex dresses this is a revolution!
Excellent job Indigo and Sandro!

Notice from Indigo: For better results, the creme should be applied in a thick, covering layer onto the stained areas.

It is not necessary to apply the creme on non-stained areas - that only wastes the creme.

There is a thread somewhere on TDF where the owner was able to remove mold from TPE by soaking for days with Peroxide.

Stain Removal Attempt, Part 1

I don't know why I have so many issues uploading photos here, but above is a link that collects my first set of photos for my stain removal attempt with Indigo's cream.

As you can tell, the doll is a WM 165CM K-cup (meaning Jinshan TPE), and it has monstrous stains from black lingerie (to include an extremely tight fitting bra, gloves, and leggings), as well as a bit on the head from black wig netting. The worst staining is on the feet and leggings where the contact was most intense and for the longest duration. Staining is also heavy on the underside of the breasts, as well as around the ribs. Additionally, though the pictures do not show, there is also some staining on the back. The staining was so bad that at some point it carried over onto the white blouse at the shoulders, which bleach has sadly been unable to remove.

The doll has been this way since late July/early October, and the stains had set in over the course of 16 hours before the clothes were removed. After the initial staining and intense removal attempts using odorless mineral spirits, I surrendered to the likelihood of permanent damage, and had even redressed the doll in said lingerie once or twice following multiple washings. Even after these washings, AND the treatment attempts done by the tailor prior to arrival, the clothes actually seem to have darkened the stains even more. Since then, I have not had the doll in the lingerie.

It will take a miracle in my eyes to make these stains go away, but perhaps Indigo's product is the cure. If so, then it will indeed be the ultimate proof for his product.

Fingers crossed, folks.

It's so gracious of you to offer this stuff for free as a beta tester, but I have every intention of paying you if this works as intended. As you've seen, my staining is pretty ungodly, and any product that can fix it deserves to be paid for.

We have currently two test scenarios for this:

1) Indigo is currently running a synthetic test with fresh mold on on Jinshan TPE and some platinum cured TPE samples. We will have a result in about a week.

It is possible that the stain remover can reduce fresh mold.

2) I made an own test with old mold on a cheap one component hardware store silicone:

Before:

The mold was deep inside the silicone, and the stain remover had almost no effect on this.

I cross checked with a mold remover based on bleach, which also had no relevant effect on this piece of silicone.

After applying stain remover for 24 hours (only one application) + mold remover for 6 hours:

So the stain remover is clearly no cure for cancer. There are cases where only concentrated bleach will help - or binning the affected parts.

What we need to figure out now are documented use cases a) where the stain remover works best, b) where it can work, and c) where it doesn't help at all.
