Just like any other toy, dolls can get dirty and grungy-looking if they are not regularly cleaned and taken care of after it has been used. With today’s busy schedule, cleaning your children’s toys is a task that is often neglected. When you have some spare time, you can devote it to cleaning and restoring some if the toys that have been neglected for some time now. Here are some tips on how to restore a Barbie doll, so that your child can enjoy it for a few more years.

Step 1: Carefully look over the doll to determine which parts need to be replaced, fixed or simply cleaned.

Step 2: With the use of warm water and a mild cleanser, gently wash the doll’s body and wipe it dry with a soft cloth afterwards.

Step 3: For stubborn dirt that can’t be removed by the water and detergent solution, use a nail polish remover or alcohol to remove it. Make sure that the material of your doll will not be harmed by the strong chemicals in these cleaning agents.

Step 4: Shampoo the doll’s hair thoroughly, and condition it using lanolin. If the hair is extremely matted and tangled, you may soak it in fabric conditioner to soften it. Make sure that you rinse it thoroughly afterwards, and then proceed on styling it according to your (or your child’s) preference. You can curl the hair around plastic tubing or straws while it’s still wet; hold the hair in place while it dries to maintain the curls.

Step 5: Check the doll’s face to see if it needs to be repainted. If you are not very confident about doing this task, you might want to get the services of a professional, to avoid destroying the doll’s look.

Step 6: Check the doll’s limbs as well; if they need to be replaced, you can get them from old Barbies that are being sold. Some of these dolls are in poor condition, just make sure that the limbs you need are still intact.

Step 7: Wash the doll’s clothes to make them clean again; if there are stubborn stains, you can use a stain remover.

Step 8: Clean all of the Barbie’s accessories, and iron the clothes if they are already wrinkled. You can also buy new clothes and accessories to help improve the doll’s appearance, or make new ones if you have the time to do so.

Restoring a Barbie doll can be a therapeutic activity, as it can bring back good memories of when you were the one playing the dolls. They can also be a bonding moment with your child, a time to bridge the generation gap, so to speak.
