Re: Cleaning Teddy Babes
Yeah i figured soaking wouldn't be a great idea.set track wrote:hi gentlecuddle welcome aboard , if you are cleaning your lovely Vicky try not to over wet the fabric - if soaking wet it will take day's to dry also it could turn to mold inside the doll .

However i have never used Vanish at all, and i'm etremely careful now as i don't want to hurt/damage Vicky.
I feel like if i would keep Vanish on it for too long, it would dry up looking ''weird'' so i assume letting the product work in is like a good 5 minutes? then clean it with a damp cloth.
Kinda also looking for recommende ''fresheners'', not really to clean the doll but to smell nice. Currently i bought some Dove female dioderant which has that sweet smell but i wonder if any cleaner save on pluche has a similiar smell. Don't really want to use parfum as i think it soaks in?

Re: Cleaning Teddy Babes
The way that I use it is to spray a generous amount onto the dirty area and let it soak in for a few minutes. After that, I use a wet sponge to dab some water onto the Oxi-Clean soaked area as a way of rinsing it and then use some paper towels to draw out the water. There is no need to rub very hard, just firm enough to get the job done.
You can also spray more cleaner and repeat the procedure as many times as needed. Although I only have to do this 2-3 times to make my Babes look good as new. I have also been able to remove clothing stains as well.
Once you are satisfied that the stains are gone, you can give her a final rinse and began drying her. When rinsing, be sure to keep applying water and removing it until there are no suds left. After you are satisfied that the suds are gone, just use as many paper towels as necessary to dry her as best you can.
I have found that you can get most of the water out this way, but she may still feel a little damp and will need a little extra time to completely dry out. It may take a few days for her to completely dry if you use too much water. But it's not a problem. Just use a paper towel to soak up any moist areas that you find.
I hope this makes some sense and isn't too confusing!
While this may not be the best method, it's been doing the job for me so I haven't seen any need to change anything.
Also, she will have a nice smell about her for several weeks which reminds me of the scent of a woman who has just washed her hair.
Another added bonus to a clean Teddy Babe

She has also used Oxy Clean spray with success to get a stain out of one of hers.

Re: Cleaning Teddy Babes
I would just be hesitant with anything not mentioned here. I think a spray on liquid would be best. But a powder could work if that's the only thing available.
Also, it's not necessary to clean them very often if they aren't getting dirty. My Lexy wears pajamas pretty much all the time so she stays pretty clean. I just wash her once or twice a year and she's good as new.

Re: Cleaning Teddy Babes
I mean the machine where you can like apply carpet cleaner and then vacuum all the moisture out, i feel like it's something that could work out well to get most of the moisture out. I don't have carpet cleaner device but i feel like it could be used effectively.

Re: Cleaning Teddy Babes
However the oxi spray smells weird, does anyone know what type of fabric softener are safe to use? I mean usually a softener or even washing powder have something stated on them like ''white'' or ''colours'' and i'm scared either of them could cause color marks/changes. We don't have woolite in the netherlands, so i don't really know what type of powder or softener to go for. ''colors'' or ''white'' since i believe white usually has some bleach in them...
Re: Cleaning Teddy Babes
on my daily cloths I use 'Astonish' fabric re-fresher and plan to test it next time on the Teddy Babes - once dry the (fresh) smell disappears

Re: Cleaning Teddy Babes
Then again, I'm also kind of weird.
Edited to add: If the scent is a problem, the good news is that it goes away completely after a while.
