How do you clean old Barbie dolls?

Answer 1

Wash the body and face with warm water and a mild cleanser. Dry with a soft cloth. Use a blunt toothpick to clean out crevices. Try alcohol or nail polish remover if you can't get dirt off with water. Do not use these substances on old dolls, as they can remove the paint. Shampoo the doll's hair and condition it with lanolin. If it is matted, wash it with GooGone, then soak it in fabric softener. Rinse and style. Wash the clothes and use stain remover if necessary.

Answer 2

One of the best ways would be to take a large glass jar, add cold water and some sensitive fabric detergent and slowly mix those together. You would then add the clothes along with some ice cubes and seal and shake. Repeat if needed and roll up in a towel to dry.

Answer 3

Try a mixture of white vinegar, dish soap and warm water.
