Is Getting Ink Off Dolls Difficult?

Is getting ink off dolls difficult? Not necessarily, but the process of getting ink off the face or body of a plastic or porcelain doll is one that should be done carefully from the start. You don’t want to use an abrasive medium to try and remove the ink, as you can scratch and damage the face of the doll, especially if you’re trying to clean one that’s made of porcelain. There are also some common household cleaners and other household items that can make the process easier than the traditional “soap and water” method of toy cleaning. 

Provided you follow the proper tips, getting ink off dolls doesn't necessarily need to be difficult. For example, there are a few things that can help, and you probably already have most of these aids in your house:

• One material that is great for getting ink off dolls is hair spray. Hair spray works because it has alcohol in it that can be used to break down the ink and cause it to separate from the surface of the doll. Apply the hair spray to the end of a soft medium, such as a cotton swab, and then use the cotton swab to remove the ink from the doll. This is one of the easiest methods, though it may require a couple of applications, depending on the amount of ink that the doll has on it. 
• Another method of removing ink from the face or body of a doll is the use of a mechanical cleaner like WD-40 or even gasoline. These methods are more dangerous, and using them should be done outside or in a well-ventilated area so that the fumes and the materials don’t combust or affect you as you use them. 

So, now you know that getting ink off dolls is not difficult, and you also have some tips on how to make the process simpler.
