How to Take Good Care of Your American Girl Doll
So you own an American Girl doll. You must know the do's and don'ts in regards to taking care of your doll.
Do's:
Doll will quickly look old when often exposed to sunlight.
• Wash hands before grabbing the doll. Our hands are oftentimes full of dirt and so grabbing our doll without first washing our hands is not a good idea.
• Clean the face with baking soda. According to some doll collectors, baking soda can help clean doll's face and so it will help if sometimes we use baking soda along with water when cleaning doll's face. Mix baking soda with water first.
• Use a good wire brush when brushing doll's hair. If you can, keep your doll in her box but if you can't just be sure to clean her up regularly.
Don'ts :
Some foods and drinks can cause stain to dolls.
• Don't keep your doll in a damp wet environment.
• Never use a hair dryer or the like on your doll.
• Don't tumble dry her clothes. Aside from your doll, her clothes are also important.
