Start by removing any excess lubricant or body fluid with a soft towel.
Remove the vaginal insert if applicable.
Remove the wig and clean this separately.
The insert can be washed in anti-bacterial warm soapy water in a sink and allowed to air dry thoroughly.
For the full doll - lay your doll on towels on a bed and use a spray bottle mix of (preferably sulfate-free) soap and clean warm water, gently massage the doll's skin with your hands, or wipe down with a clean sponge.
It is safest to lie your doll on top of towels and spray then wipe but if you are confident handling your doll's weight and enjoy water-play, see below.
You can shower or bathe a doll if you take care of the "skeleton" eg try not to let the neck or head become too wet. This is to prevent damage to the "skeleton" and potential mould. You can cover the metal areas with a plastic bag if you find this easier or ensure feet (with metal bolts) are left out of the bath for example.
Wet dolls are slippery - a plastic stool in a shower is safer than standing.
Do not use abrasive soaps or any other general cleaning products.
Do not use hard sponges or wire brushes as this will cause damage.
It's easiest to lie your doll on towels on a bed to allow it to dry.
Tip: Try spreading the legs and using a small fan to hasten dry.
Do not put the doll near an open fire or a radiator to dry.
