External Body Cleaning
Step 1: Initial Rinse
Begin with a gentle rinse to remove surface dust and debris:
- Use lukewarm water (never hot – maximum 40°C/104°F)
- Start from the head and work downward
- Use a handheld showerhead or wet cloth
- Avoid getting water in the neck opening or other openings
- Pay attention to folds and creases
Step 2: Soap Application
Apply cleaning solution systematically:
- Mix mild antibacterial soap with water

- Work in sections: head, torso, arms, legs
- Use gentle circular motions
- Pay extra attention to:
- Underarms
- Between fingers and toes
- Behind knees
- Neck folds
- Any textured areas
Step 3: Face and Head Care
The face requires special attention:
For removable wigs:
- Remove wig before cleaning
- Clean the head surface gently
- Avoid getting water in eye sockets
- Pat dry around delicate features
For implanted hair:

- Apply soap carefully around hairline
- Rinse gently
- Comb through hair while damp
Step 4: Thorough Rinsing
Remove all soap residue completely:

Internal Cavity Cleaning
Vaginal Cavity
Step 1: Initial Flush
- Fill irrigator with lukewarm water and antibacterial soap
- Insert nozzle gently (1-2 inches)
- Squeeze to flush interior
- Repeat 3-4 times until water runs clear
Step 2: Deep Clean
- Use a soft brush or cloth wrapped around finger
- Clean the entrance area thoroughly
- Reach as far as safely possible
- Rotate to clean all interior surfaces
Step 3: Final Rinse
- Flush with clean water only
- Repeat until no soap remains
- Ensure complete soap removal
Anal Cavity
Follow the same procedure as vaginal cleaning:
- Flush with soapy water
- Clean entrance and accessible interior
- Rinse thoroughly
- Verify complete soap removal
Oral Cavity
For removable inserts:
- Remove insert
- Clean separately in sink
- Wash interior and exterior
- Rinse completely
For fixed mouths:
- Use irrigator or small brush
- Clean teeth and tongue area
- Flush thoroughly
- Ensure no soap residue
Drying Process
Critical Importance of Drying
Moisture left inside cavities causes:
- Mold growth
- Unpleasant odors
- Material degradation
- Bacterial contamination
External Drying
Step 1: Initial Pat Down
- Use clean, dry towels
- Pat (don’t rub) the surface
- Work systematically from head to toe
- Pay attention to all folds and creases
Step 2: Air Drying
- Position doll in well-ventilated area
- Use a fan to circulate air
- Allow 30-60 minutes for surface drying
- Ensure all external areas are completely dry
Internal Drying
Absorption Method:
- Insert tampon or absorbent cloth into each cavity
- Leave for 15-20 minutes
- Remove and check for moisture
- Repeat if necessary
Air Circulation Method:
- Use a small fan directed at cavity openings
- Allow 2-3 hours of air circulation
- Check periodically for moisture
- Continue until completely dry
Hair Dryer Method:
- Use ONLY on cool setting
- Hold 12 inches away from opening
- Direct air into cavities
- Never use heat setting (damages material)
Powder Application
Why Powder is Essential
Renewal powder:
- Restores soft, natural feel
- Prevents tackiness
- Protects from dust and lint
- Maintains material integrity
- Extends doll lifespan
Application Technique
Step 1: Choose Your Powder
- Cornstarch (economical, effective)
- Specialized TPE renewal powder
- Baby powder WITHOUT talc
Step 2: Apply Externally
- Ensure doll is completely dry
- Sprinkle powder generously over surface
- Use a soft brush or cloth to spread evenly
- Cover entire body systematically
- Pay attention to:
- Joints and creases
- Textured areas
- Previously sticky spots
Step 3: Buff and Finish
- Use a clean, dry cloth
- Buff the surface gently
- Remove excess powder
- Achieve a smooth, matte finish
Internal Powder Application
For cavities (optional but recommended):
- Use a small makeup brush
- Apply light dusting to entrance areas
- Avoid excessive internal application
- Helps prevent stickiness
Special Cleaning Situations
After Heavy Use
If the doll has been used extensively:
- Clean immediately (within 1 hour)
- Perform double rinse of cavities
- Allow extended drying time (4-6 hours)
- Apply powder more generously
Quick Cleaning Between Uses
For light cleaning between full washes:

- Dust off any powder buildup
- Perform light external cleaning
- Check for any storage-related issues
- Apply fresh powder
Cleaning Frequency Guidelines
After Every Use
- Clean all used cavities
- Wipe external contact areas
- Dry completely
- Apply powder
Weekly (Even Without Use)
- Light external wipe-down
- Check for dust accumulation
- Refresh powder if needed
Monthly Deep Clean
- Full body wash
- All cavity cleaning
- Complete drying process
- Fresh powder application
Common Cleaning Mistakes
Mistake 1: Rushing the Drying Process
Problem: Moisture trapped inside causes moldSolution: Always allow full drying time (minimum 2-3 hours)
Mistake 2: Using Hot Water
Problem: Damages material, causes warpingSolution: Use only lukewarm water (maximum 40°C/104°F)
Mistake 3: Harsh Scrubbing
Problem: Tears surface, removes textureSolution: Use gentle pressure and soft materials only
Mistake 4: Incomplete Rinsing
Problem: Soap residue degrades materialSolution: Rinse multiple times until water runs clear
Mistake 5: Skipping Powder
Problem: Surface becomes sticky and attracts debrisSolution: Always apply powder after cleaning and drying
Troubleshooting Cleaning Issues
Surface Feels Sticky After Cleaning
Causes:
- Insufficient drying
- Soap residue
- Missing powder application
Solutions:
