How to care for a realistic doll: cleaning, care and storage

Keeping a realistic doll in good condition is essential to ensure durability, hygiene, and safety. In this chapter, we explain how to properly clean it, which products to use, how to store a doll, and what to avoid to prolong the lifespan of the material—whether TPE or silicone.

Cleaning after use

After each use, it's important to clean the internal channels with a water irrigator and mild soap. For the exterior, use a soft cloth with warm water and mild soap. Avoid wetting the head or electrical connections, if present.

Recommended products

• Neutral or mild antibacterial soap
• Microfiber cloth
• Talcum powder or cornstarch (for TPE)
• Water-based lubricant

Drying and storage

Dry completely with a clean towel and let it air out before storing. Avoid humid places or direct sunlight. Store the doll lying down or suspended, without forced folds.

Common mistakes to avoid

• Using alcohol, perfumes or abrasive products
• Store with dark clothes that may stain
• Bending arms or legs for long periods

Preventive maintenance

Apply talcum powder regularly to maintain a smooth texture (for TPE). Check muscles and seams periodically. If you notice any damage or tearing, avoid use until repaired.
