I bought some Johnson's baby oil that has fragrance in it. Will this be okay to use?

How do you get dust off your doll? I had a microfibre cloth, but I am afraid of damaging my doll by rubbing too hard.

If you use powder/cornstarch afterward, dust shouldn't be a problem. I use a regular wash cloth and an ordinary sponge to clean my doll and pat her dry with a regular towel. Light pressure is all it takes. Hand baby oil rubs I do every 3 or 4 months, lightly dusting with cornstarch once the oil's been absorbed. I also keep my dolls fully clothed most of the time.

Mr Franz has got it down. I do EXACTLY as he does with the oil wipe. Frequency of every 4 months. Only difference I wipe lightly with a mineral oil dampened sponge(s). Gets some of the gunk that soap and water may not get.
Stains do not occur leaving her dressed for extended periods. And TPE is just fine. no chalky drying out has occurred anywhere.

I concur with Mr. Franz!! :)
