Maintenance starts with selecting cleaning agents that are gentle on materials while effectively removing oils, dust, and residue. Begin with mild, fragrance-free soap and warm water for routine cleaning after use. Soft microfiber cloths or non-abrasive sponges prevent surface damage while lifting dirt from delicate contours. For stubborn spots, a diluted solution of mild dish soap can be used, followed by thorough rinsing to prevent soap residues that can attract dirt.

Avoid harsh chemicals that can degrade silicone or other materials. Ammonia, bleach, and acetone-based products are generally discouraged unless specifically recommended by the manufacturer, as they can weaken material integrity over time. After cleaning, ensure the doll is completely dry to prevent mold or material degradation; a soft towel followed by air drying in a ventilated space is often sufficient. Some users apply light dusting powders or silicone-safe moisturizers to maintain texture, but consult material guidelines to ensure compatibility. Regular, gentle cleaning not only extends the life of the doll but also preserves its appearance and feel for years of use.
