How often do you bathe your doll and wash their clothes?

the only time i bathe a doll is when i get an old secondhand one. if it didn't already come to me unstrung, i unstring it and soak all the parts in oxy clean, rinse it and dry it before i put new string in.

aside from that? i'll spot clean them if i actually get something on them, which hardly ever happens. once or twice i've found some small superficial stains from black clothing that i've used a magic eraser and some water to remove. that's about it. i don't do doll laundry-- they can't actually dirty their clothes, so i see no point in it.

 

I should probably do this more often.

 

I wash my dolls probably every few months, not on a schedule. I sponge/alcohol any color transfer off if needed and then surface clean them with water and a tiny bit of dish soap. Also a good time to brush off any dust from the wig or clothes and fresh up their look I don't do them all at once, it would take all day
I don't wash their clothes cuz I hate doing laundry cuz I am constantly doing laundry for human

 

as needed really, i bring my dolls (mostly vinyl) to cons so ill usually clean them after a con except for the ones with stain prevention suits

 

Not often as I should but when its time for a restring I do but I noticed they aren't too bad.

Their clothes I did not too long ago. But I should have been more careful on some as their iron on transfer died and then had to be tossed. They were a decade old so thats a given. Also wish I did it more often and made sure better storage as some are now ruined with stains.

Anyone know how to get those out? I have tried Oxy, clean too no luck.

Wigs I've been also washing them with shampoo I bought off of Volks and styling them better.

 

My dolls haven't gotten dirty enough yet to clean, they just sit on shelves and look pretty. I have washed some of my dolls feet and legs after I took them outside for photos. Most of my dolls have no shoes. Other than that I have never cleaned them or their clothing. I do brush their wigs regularly, and have washed 1 wig that my cat likes to steal.
