Reborn and newborn dolls
typically need more care than the usual play dolls and collectible dolls. Some owners of reborn dolls do not just put
these creations on a display shelf to store it away from dust and dirt. Some owners are actually treating them like
real babies and so it goes through constant handling and touching from
owners. Perhaps just like a child’s toy
doll, reborn dolls usually get the most attention from their owners and are
likely to get smudges and dirt all over them.
Just like the delicate and
sensitive skin of a real baby, reborn dolls also require extra care and
attention. The maintenance of these
dolls should ever be overlooked as it will require a tremendous process of
repair should some of its components get damaged. The number one preventive measure you need to
observe if you are acquiring these dolls for your collection is to avoid
letting your small children play with it.
There are small parts and components that may be added to these dolls
that could easily fall off. Remember
that these are not primarily intended as toy dolls and children might choke on
some tiny pieces such as the button on the doll’s dress or even the mohair on
the eyebrows.
When handling reborn dolls make
sure you do not damage the hair or even pluck them from its holes. Some dolls have mohair on their eyebrows
which can also be easily removed if not handled properly. Be careful in handling the hands and feet as
there are could be realistic nails added onto it that could easily become
brittle or break if mishandled. Do not
also leave the doll in too hot or too cold
places. These dolls are usually
made of soft vinyl which could get warm when heated or could melt in high
temperatures. Extreme cold can also make
the vinyl brittle and crack over time.
However, a controlled-temperature environment is not necessary at all.
Over time, some of these dolls
can get dusty. These will require light
dusting once in a while but avoid using liquid cleaners or polish. Avoid using alcohol based liquids. Water can be used with gentle soap for hard
to remove dirt but it is even to be used with extra care. When using water, be sure not to let water
enter the eye socket or the holes on the doll head. Make sure the water does not go into other
tiny openings or gaps on the doll parts.
Perhaps use a clean damp cloth to wipe out dirt that cannot be removed
by dusting.
