Retrodolls Stain Remover Saves the Day

Posted on April 30, 2012 at 9:25 AM

Recently I had a mishap with one of my favourite Tidgy Dolls, Sheila.  I took her out for the day and popped her in my purse 'to keep her safe' only to find the dark lining had stained her face terribly :(

I managed to fade the marks a little by scrubbing with bicarbonate od soda (that's what the white residue is) but as you can see, it didn't help much!

So I ordered some doll stain remover from Retrodolls..

The instructions said to apply a layer and leave for at least 24 hours so I applied a little of the mixture using a cotton bud and popped her under a spotlamp, as light and heat are meant to quicken the process.

24 hours later saw a marked improvement, though the stains were still visible.  

I applied a second coat and here are the results after a second 24 hour stint.

The stains are now completely gone!  I did manag to fade her eyebrow and blush in the process, but I can easily rectify that problen, and my tidgy Sheila is saved ^_^

Thanks, Retrodolls ^_^

Wah, so cute! I'm glad you saved her! I have had some luck with Benzyl Peroxide in removing stains from dollies' faces but since you can only get such a low percentage in acne medications I've often had to reapply up to 5-6 times!! The Retrodolls stain remover looks better!
