I've got a question
I've got a question
You know helpful threads like The Newly wed guide by BCD for your doll and TPE and Mineral Oils. I'm wondering how the recommended items work compared to "TPE-safe cleanser" and "Renewal Powder" offered from RLSD.

Re: I've got a question
So, you're doll is perfect, and you're ready to go. That's great, congratulations.
The best cleaner I've used so far is Mineral Based Baby Oil. I used the TPE Safe stain remover, and petroleum jelly, and I think they're the same thing. They work similar.
Baby oil will remove the most dirt from a TPE doll it seems. I tried soap and water. Then tried to oil my doll, and all this black dirt came out in the oil. I cleaned her, and oiled her again, same thing. Finally I cleaned her with Baby Oil alone, three times. That's how many times it took to stop getting the black mess. And then she was actually clean. This was a doll less than a month old. I'm on the bandwagon of cleanng your TPE doll with mineral oil and a credit card.

Renewal powder is just some sort of starch. I use a big jug of all natural corn starch that I got for a few bucks at Walmart. I found the renewal powder dispenser for RLSD to suck pretty bad, but other members seem to like it. I bought a very soft bristled paint brush, and I like it as my favorite applicator. It makes a mess, but covers quickly, and I can easily feel with the brush if an area has enough powder. The powder is cheap, so excess fall onto the towel beneath her, and I just wash the towel later.

And just use water to clean her on the honey moon days. Its about getting the production chems off her. Fresh water and fresh cloths each wash a few times a day for a few days and give her a powder once dry each time to absorb more chems out of the skin

Re: I've got a question
the last thing you want to do is oil your doll for the first time w/o cleaning her first, black ink line stuff will come out of her skin if you try to oil a doll straight from the factory.
Bootycall Dolls wrote the guide, not RLSD. just follow those guidelines.
also i suggest scented cornstarch from goldbond. leaves the doll smelling goood.

What is your reasoning behind this?Procrasturbate wrote:the last thing you want to do is oil your doll for the first time w/o cleaning her first, black ink line stuff will come out of her skin if you try to oil a doll straight from the factory.
That black gunk is what were getting out by oiling. It takes a few times at first, but afterword you have a clean doll. Not just surface clean either. The oil penetrates the TPE, and by applying a slight pressure you're pressing out more contaminates that soap and water would ever do.
I've asked before, but to veterans, like samara78, is there any reason that mineral oil should not be used from day one? Does it cause harm?

It's a short answer, and I like to know the reasoning behind it, but here it is, and I'd trust that advice.samara78 wrote:Only washing right after you get her is best. Baby oil for cleaning is best afterward. Rub her with baby oil then wipe off with a wet wipe afterward. You do not need soap and water except right after you recieve her.
From here on is me wanting to know why.
I still think those first washings didn't seem to do a thing when I did it. (Perhaps it's more of what can't be seen) Once I applied the first mineral treatment, to a new doll, a lot of black stuff came out. I thought soap and water was supposed to get that? More with soap, looked clean. Oil, black stuff. Then I oiled, and washed, oiled and washed.... Guess what, no more black stuff. I finally got all the black stuff out. The oil and cloth, or card method is even better.
Maybe I have the wrong soap, but soap and water really doesn't seem to do a thing to TPE.

Re: I've got a question
So then oil and water is best? Or oil and soap and water? Or soap and water then oil is best?optical delusion wrote:If its superficial water will get it off. If its embedded the oil penetrates the surface and binds with the tpe causing displacement of anything that cant bind to tpe.
Will oil not remove the superficial? It it just the water? Does the soap matter?
Oh no, I have so many questions. My favorite question, Why?

Re: I've got a question
I have never used soap on mine as i have never had the need. The part of the doll should end up the dirtiest is the insert. Im sure others will have recomnedations for that but they are also replaceable

Re: I've got a question
WASH WITH soap/WATER, THEN OIL. FFS
my reasoning? because thats what the Doll elders have told us to do, thus we do it.
if you put oil on the doll FIRST, your going to mix the 'Doll tpe skin oil', 'factory dirt' AND the 'mineral oil' into a black sludge. if you have a white or fair skin doll, you may perm' mark the dolls skin because the factory dirt gets caught int he pours like a tattoo.
after the first honeymoon bath you never have to soap and water her again unless she gets dirty with floor fuzz or crumbs.
Everytime you put the doll on furniture, sheets, towels, blankets, carpet, cardboard, the doll will leak oil from its skin onto the material. If you dont oil the doll from time to time, your doll will start drying out. joints might crack, skin crack, the texture will harden.. etc..

Re: I've got a question
my advice. buy the cornstarch/flour as people have recommended and save a heap of money and if you want to use soap then make the mix which is recommended in the tpe care guide
