(PRE)LOVED NOTE

I thought i would just drop a note to share with everyone how i care for my dolls and hope with all these tips, RDGdolls would bring you much joy for many years to come.

TIPS ON TAKING CARE OF YOUR RDGDOLL :-
  1. KEEP YOUR DOLL OUT OF DIRECT SUNLIGHT AND EXTREME TEMPERATURES
    We know how detrimental UV ray can be to our skin, so does it to your beloved RDGdoll.
    We are currently looking into improving the formulae for the resin we use. So meantime, before we found the magic formulae, avoid prolong direct contact with sunlight and extreme temperatures.
  2. TENDER LOVING CARE
    I know it sounds ridiculous. But do keep a pair of white cotton gloves handy and when dressing or playing with your doll, use them! You would be surprised how much cleaner your doll stays with your tender care.
  3. STAIN REMOVAL (NOT FOOL PROOF though)
    If your doll does get marks on it or gets dirty from handling, you can clean it up with a Mr. Clean Super Sponge. Dampen the sponge and gently clean. Do be very careful around the face paint as you do not want to end up removing an eyebrow or cheek color if you don’t pay attention!
  4. RDG SOCKET "MOTHBALL"
    Especially for outfits which are cut slimmer at the sleeve openings or hem, we would encourage the use of these little handy "mothballs" to avoid snagging your outfit or worse, snapping the fingers! Carefully pull the hands (hold palms, NEVER fingers!)/feet away from the socket, slip in a paperclip through the elastic band and change the hands to the "mothballs" before pulling the paperclip out.
  5. COLOR TRANSFER/ STAINING
    Be careful NOT TO leave your doll dressed in dark colors or anything red/navy for too long.

    These colors are prone to color transfer despite being treated for color fastness. They can sometimes fade and stain your doll's precious garb or even worse, the resin. Mr. Clean Super Sponge can sometimes, but not always, remove this.
  6. WIG CAPS
    Use a wigcap as much as possible. It does not only help hold the wig in place but it also protects the head from staining from dark colored wigs.
  7. POISE & POSTURE
    Use a doll stand unless the doll is sitting. Even dolls that balance beautifully by themselves can tip over and fall off a shelf.
