A scent-free routine is not only more comfortable for sensitive users but also gentler on the doll’s materials. Start with a baseline cleaning plan that avoids strong perfumes or harsh solvents that could degrade silicone or TPE over time. Use mild, pH-balanced cleansers designed for skin-safe materials, warmed to body-friendly temperatures. After washing, thoroughly rinse and dry the surface, then apply a light, breathable moisturizer that does not leave a residue. For storage, keep dolls in a clean, dry space away from chemical fragrances. A neutral enclosure with controlled humidity helps maintain material integrity.
If you want a subtle ambient scent in the room without impacting the doll, choose air fresheners or essential oils that are distant from the display area and use them sparingly. It’s wise to document every product you apply to the doll, including cleaners or moisturizers, so you can monitor any changes in texture or color over time. Routine maintenance should also include periodic checks for surface wear, softening, or stickiness, especially in folds and joints. A scent-free routine reduces risk and keeps the doll comfortable for longer wear and display.
