If so baby oil and a microfiber cloth will shift it
Perhaps other's will have a better idea

Re: Cleaning wm doll quick question
Microfiber cloth probably works very well, and personally i like to cut small soft sponge squares to clean my girls, something like 1.5 inch by 1.5, get a good amount of baby oil in them and pick up all the dirt and residue making consistent passes with it.
In case your sponge square gets all dirty and black, don't worry, it only means that she was overdue for a good cleaning, and that you're doing it correctly.
Also you can add more oil as needed, or change for a new square if the one you're using gets too dirty.
Although, careful not going over her makeup, as this will make short work of removing it if you do.
Then using a damp towel i just pick up any residual oil to make sure she only gets to absorb a minimal amount. This is the best way i found to make them clean as can be with minimal effort.
Hope this helps

Unless you're using oil to clean your doll, (dislodging grim with baby oil and wiping it off again), then yes, you should wash and thoroughly dry your doll before doing an oil rub.True King wrote:So this is random but i gotta wash the powder off the doll before oiling her?
