Important too: a doll that isn't looked after properly will look cheap, feels sticky, and will wear out years earlier than she should. Luckily, maintenance couldn't be more straightforward. You don't need expensive kit or complex steps, and it takes less time than most people expect. The downside is that skipping it, or doing it half-heartedly, comes with consequences. Durable as TPE and silicone are, they can't heal. A stain that sets is permanent, mould that grows inside is a health risk, and a joint that loosens never tightens again. No repair reverses any of that, so everything comes down to prevention. The Everyday Cleaning Routine The complete routine begins with what you do after every single use, so let's go through it. Cleaning her is not up for debate, and it covers more than hygiene: it's about material lifespan. With TPE, pores mean oils, bacteria and dyes get soaked up; with silicone, pore-free, cleaning still prevents buildup. There's no difference in the routine between the two materials: 1. Remove inserts first and wash them on their own 2. Wash the orifices in warm water with a mild antibacterial soap 3. Dry everything completely using drying sticks (minimum 15-20 minutes) 4. Apply cornstarch or baby powder over the whole exterior 5. Put her away properly Keeping Mould Out Step three is where most people slip up. You put absorbent rods, known as drying sticks, inside for 15-20 minutes, and they're not optional. If you skip it you get mould, which is a real problem in porous materials. You won't see it start, because it starts inside, and when you notice it, it has set in. Powdering with a soft makeup brush works well: no tacky surface, and no dust clinging to the skin. A Proper Weekly Pass Once a week, do a more thorough pass. Take her through her full range of movement and see whether any joint is stiff or squeaky, a drop of silicone-based lubricant on the joint bolt fixes that, and oil-based lubricants must never go on TPE, because they eat into the material. Check her for small tears or wear, since small tears can be repaired with a TPE repair kit before they get worse, while larger tears need professional repair, so never ignore small damage, because it grows. The earlier you catch a tear, the cheaper and easier it is to fix, and the less likely it is to spread into an area that's structurally important. Wigs and Stains Every week or two the wig needs a wash with wig-specific shampoo, never regular hair products, and a complete air-dry before it goes back on. Also check for stains, as careful handling can't stop discolouration appearing around the thighs, back and buttocks, especially on pale skin where every mark shows. A weekly pass of about fifteen minutes catches most problems while they become expensive to fix. The Monthly Deep Pass On a monthly basis, go deeper. Because TPE slowly sheds oil over time, oil it to restore the material, and a light application of mineral oil specifically formulated for TPE dolls keeps the material soft and prevents cracking, roughly once a month or every few months depending on climate and how often she's used. Live somewhere hot and dry? Oil more often than people in a cooler, damper climate. The skeleton needs inspecting: joints holding positions, standing feet bolts tight where relevant, and no sign of stress or wear on the framework. Check Your Storage Setup Clean the orifices deeply with a stronger antibacterial solution to keep bacteria from growing, then rinse well and dry thoroughly. Check your storage setup as well, because hanging points can shift, new sources of pressure can appear, and anything touching her that could transfer dye is a problem worth catching early. A written log tracks when you oiled, powdered and deep cleaned, so you know what's overdue; this matters because falling behind is the most common cause of accelerated wear. Maintenance by Material The routine is mostly the same between TPE and silicone, but a few differences are important. On the TPE side, porosity means extra upkeep: more careful cleaning, more regular powdering, more oiling, easier staining, but it's softer. With silicone you get a more forgiving, non-porous material that resists stains and bacteria much better, needs no oiling and holds detail longer, but it's firmer, pricier and can feel less alive. With a hybrid, TPE body and silicone head, you have the best of both and the maintenance lands where it matters; the head needs nothing beyond a wipe. Slip-Ups That Cost You This is where most owners go wrong, so here are the mistakes worth avoiding: 1. Never use regular soap, body wash or shampoo, because they strip the material's oils 2. Stay away from alcohol and bleach, which damage both TPE and silicone 3. Don't take her in the shower unless she has standing feet with metal bolts 4. Don't leave her in direct sun, which damages the material and fades wigs 5. Don't miss out the drying, the most important step in cleaning 6. Keep oil-based lubricants off TPE joints, silicone-based only 7. Don't put an untested fabric against her body, test it on a cloth first 8. Don't assume that an unused doll needs no maintenance What Happens When She's Left Alone That last one catches people out. Whether or not she's used, TPE degrades, so oil and powder her even in storage. Six months untouched leaves a doll stiffer and drier than a maintained one, and the damage isn't always reversible. If she'll be put away for a long while, start by oiling her and powdering her, then keep her out of the sun and away from heat sources. On taking her out again, allow a bit longer for the first clean. Are You Ready for the Time? Let's get real about the time involved. Expect about 45 minutes for the full clean, more with a big or heavy doll, which is no exaggeration. That's the reality of owning a doll: 20 minutes of fun, 45 of cleanup. It's the main reason people turn to inserts, which roughly halve cleanup time, or buy a doll with fewer orifices. Not ready for that much time? Buy a doll with inserts. If you are, build it into your routine and don't fight it; maintenance is what keeps her in good shape. The Physical Side of Cleaning With hefty dolls, the job is tougher than it sounds. Washing a 45kg doll means constant lifting, turning and moving, and that is real physical work. Doable is the word for a 25kg doll: one sitting, not much strain. Pick the lighter doll when upkeep effort is your main concern, and accept what you lose in presence, because a heavy doll won't clean itself. What to Clean Her With Think about the cleaning products as well: what you're applying and whether it's safe. The best bet is a mild antibacterial soap in diluted warm water, without scent and without moisturisers or exfoliants. Drying sticks are inexpensive and reusable, and ten of them will last months. Skip purpose-made baby powder if you like: plain cornstarch from the supermarket is cheaper and works just as well. Pick the correct type of mineral oil for TPE (doll suppliers have it) and never use cooking oil, which turns rancid inside the material and causes a smell you can't get rid of. Plain Water and Mild Soap The test is easy: if you wouldn't put it on your own skin, you shouldn't put it on the doll. If it contains alcohol, bleach or oil-based ingredients, don't use it on TPE. Don't use anything scented on silicone, since the smell can stay. When you're unsure, mild soap and plain water is always safe, and manufacturers advise it for routine cleaning. The Full Schedule Here's the whole thing laid out by date. After every use: clean, dry, powder, store. Weekly: wash the wig and check joints, damage and stains. On a monthly basis: oil TPE, deep-clean the orifices, inspect the skeleton, check storage. Quarterly to twice yearly: full inspection of joints, skeleton and feet, replace any worn components, check for cracking or sagging. Yearly: replace the wig, inserts and heavily worn components ahead of failure. The Bottom Line on Maintenance Maintenance isn't glamorous, and it's not what anyone talks about when they buy a doll, but it's what separates a doll that lasts ten years from a doll that lasts eighteen months. In short: clean, dry, powder, oil, check, repeat. About 45 minutes a session, then maybe ten minutes a week beyond that. Look after her and she'll reward you for it. More info at this rosslink.
