Advanced care includes regular inspection of skin, joints, and seams for signs of wear or tiny tears. Use silicone-safe lubricants and cleaners, avoiding harsh chemicals that can degrade the material. For joints, check alignment and lubrication compatibility; apply sparingly with a soft applicator to prevent buildup. If seams begin to separate, consult professional repair options rather than attempting rough fixes at home. Temperature control is essential: keep the doll away from heat sources and sudden temperature changes that can stress the skin and joints.
Storage and handling protocols matter as well. Rotate poses to avoid long-term pressure on any single area, and use padded supports to prevent compression. If you plan to modify the doll—such as updating hair, eyes, or makeup—do so gradually and document changes. Cleaning becomes easier with micro-fiber cloths and gentle, pH-balanced cleaners. For more complex maintenance tasks, such as structural repairs or interior moisture control, seek specialist services to preserve safety and realism.
