Removing Factory Paint and Cleaning Doll

  • First use goof-off, cotton pads, q-tips, and pointed q-tips (found at Walmart or Sally's Beauty Supply) to remove all the original factory paint. Goof-Off has a very strong odor, so this step needs to be done outside.
  • Next you need to be sure and wash ALL the vinyl very well with Dawn dishsoap. Dawn is better than any other dishsoap brand because it is the best at removing grease and oil.
  • This is optional, but I then rewash all the vinyl with Playtex Baby Magic hair and body wash. I do this because simply because it smells good. (Your baby will smell like Goof-Off for the next 24 hrs, but this smell will go away)
  • Dry the vinyl parts really well, inside and out. You may need to let them sit for 24 hrs to dry completely.
