Important too: a doll that isn't properly maintained ends up looking cheap, will feel sticky, and will wear out years earlier than she should. It helps that maintenance is not hard. It's easy, inexpensive and quick. The flip side is that skipping it, or taking shortcuts, comes back to bite you. Both materials, TPE and silicone, are strong, but neither will heal. Once a stain sets, it stays; once mould gets in, it's a health hazard; once a joint loosens, it doesn't tighten back up. There's nothing that undoes any of it, so prevention is the whole game. The Everyday Cleaning Routine The complete routine starts with the jobs after each use, so we'll take it in order. Cleaning is compulsory, and it's about the life of the material and not just hygiene. TPE being porous, absorbs oils, bacteria and dyes; silicone has no pores but still needs a clean to prevent buildup. Either way, the routine is the same: 1. Take any inserts out and wash them separately 2. Wash the orifices in warm water with a mild antibacterial soap 3. Finish drying everything with drying sticks (15-20 minutes minimum) 4. Powder the entire exterior with cornstarch or baby powder 5. Store her the right way Powdering and Drying It's step three that catches most owners out. The absorbent rods known as drying sticks need leaving inside for 15-20 minutes, and they're essential. Leave it out and mould appears, and porous materials suffer from mould. It starts inside, where you can't see it, and by the time you notice the smell it has already taken hold. A soft makeup brush is great for applying powder, since it stops the skin from going tacky and dust from sticking. The Weekly Once-Over Weekly, do a more detailed check. Go through her full range of motion, checking any joint that squeaks, since a drop of silicone-based lube on the joint bolt sorts it out, and never use oil-based lubricants on TPE because they break the material down. Look for small tears or wear, since small tears can be repaired with a TPE repair kit before they get worse, but bigger tears need professional repair, so minor damage must never be ignored, because it grows. Fix a tear promptly and it's cheaper, and less likely to creep into a part that matters structurally. Weekly Wig and Stain Care Wash the wig every week or two with wig-specific shampoo rather than regular hair products, and air-dry it completely before putting it back on. Also check for stains: discolouration can appear around the thighs, back and buttocks even when you're careful, most of all on pale skin. A weekly pass of about fifteen minutes catches most issues before they get expensive to fix. The Monthly Oil Routine Once a month, go deeper. The TPE needs oiling, because it naturally sheds oil over time and the material needs topping up, and a light layer of TPE-specific mineral oil keeps the material soft and stops cracking, around once a month or every few months, according to climate and usage. Somewhere hot and dry means oiling more often than in a cooler, damper climate. Inspect the skeleton, checking that joints hold position, standing feet bolts are secure where relevant and the internal framework has no stress or wear. Check Your Storage Setup Orifices get a deep clean with a more powerful antibacterial solution to stop bacterial growth, followed by a rinse and a complete dry. Inspect her storage setup too, as hanging points move, new sources of pressure appear, and anything in contact with her that could transfer dye is worth catching early. Keep a written log of when you oiled, powdered and deep cleaned and you'll never fail to know what's overdue; overdue jobs are the most common reason for accelerated wear. Material Differences That Matter A few differences count, but the routine is largely the same across both materials. TPE takes more upkeep since it's porous, so expect more careful cleaning, more regular powdering and more oiling, and it stains more easily as well, although it's softer and warmer. Silicone is more forgiving, being non-porous, so it resists stains and bacteria far better, needs no oiling and keeps its detail longer, but it's firmer, costs more and can feel less lifelike. A hybrid doll with a TPE body and silicone head gets the strengths of both, so the work goes where it matters and the head needs nothing more than a wipe-down. Things to Steer Clear Of Steer clear of these errors, as most owners get them wrong: 1. Don't use regular soap, body wash or shampoo, because they strip oils from the material 2. No alcohol and no bleach: they damage TPE and silicone alike 3. Never put her in the shower unless her standing feet have metal bolts 4. Don't leave her in direct sunlight, which damages material and fades wigs 5. Don't miss out the drying, the most important step in cleaning 6. Don't use oil-based lube on TPE joints, only silicone-based 7. Test fabrics on a cloth first, never on her body 8. Don't think she needs no upkeep just because you haven't used her Why Stored Dolls Still Need Care The final point surprises a lot of owners. Oil and powder are still needed for TPE in storage, as the material degrades with or without use. 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. Bringing her back out means a first clean that takes a bit longer than usual. Time and Effort Let's get real about the time this takes. A full clean takes around 45 minutes, more for a hefty or large doll, and I'm not exaggerating. Twenty minutes of fun can mean 45 minutes of cleanup, and that's the reality. This is the chief reason behind inserts, which reduce cleanup time roughly in half, and for buying dolls with fewer orifices. Doubtful about the time commitment? Go for a doll with inserts. If you are, build it into your routine and don't fight it; maintenance is how you keep her in good shape. Heavier Means More Work The job is harder than it sounds with heavy dolls. Expect lifting, turning and moving a 45kg doll repeatedly; it's really hard work. A 25kg doll is manageable, and a single sitting does it without great strain. If your main concern is the effort and time maintenance takes, buy the lighter doll and accept the trade-off in presence, because a heavy doll will never clean itself. Mild Soap and Cornstarch Another question is which products you're using and whether they're safe. Stick to mild antibacterial soap diluted in warm water, nothing scented, and nothing with added moisturisers or exfoliants. Buy a pack of ten drying sticks; they're inexpensive, reusable and will last months. Supermarket cornstarch, plain, makes a cheaper powder than purpose-made baby powder and works just as well. Mineral oil for TPE is available by doll suppliers; buy the correct type, because cooking oil goes rancid inside the material and causes a smell you can't get rid of. Reading the Label If you're not sure whether a product is safe, the rule of thumb is simple: if you wouldn't put it on your own skin, don't put it on the doll. TPE and alcohol, bleach or oil-based ingredients don't mix, so avoid them. The scent of a scented product can linger on silicone, so don't use one. Plain water and mild soap are the safe fallback, and they're what the manufacturers themselves recommend for regular cleaning. What to Do and When The whole routine, laid out as a calendar: Every use ends with: clean, dry, powder, store. Once a week: inspect joints, check damage, wash the wig, check stains. Once a month: oil TPE, deep-clean orifices, inspect the skeleton and the storage setup. Every three to six months: inspect joints, skeleton and feet fully, replace worn components, and look for cracking or sagging. Annually: think about replacing the wig, inserts and any heavily worn components before they fail on their own. Wrapping Up the Routine No one mentions maintenance when they buy a doll, because it isn't glamorous, but it's what separates a ten-year doll from an eighteen-month one. In short: clean, dry, powder, oil, check, repeat. That's about 45 minutes a session plus maybe ten minutes a week on top. Look after her and she'll reward you for it.
