Do...

-Wash your hands. If you wash your hands before playing with your American Girl© Doll you will keep her cleaner for longer. No one likes peanut butter in their hair!

-Keep your doll out of the direct sunlight. If you leave your doll in the sun all of her coloring will fade, including her clothes.

-Brush your doll's hair. Try to brush her hair every night. If you brush it frequently with a wire doll brush it won't get tangles and frizz. If your doll's hair does get tangled you can use a little water on the brush to smooth it out. Leave in conditioner works well too.

-Use baking soda to wash your doll's face. If your doll's face get dirty or marked you can put a little baking soda on a lightly dampened washcloth and gently wash her face. Let it air dry afterwards.

-Vacuum your doll's cloth body. You can keep your doll's cloth body clean and free of dust and dirt with help form your Mom and a vacuum. Gently rub cornstarch in to the cloth, leave her overnight, and then vacuum it away.

Tips to preserve your American girl doll Part 2

"Tips & tricks to keep your American girl preserved "

Please Don't...

-Drink or eat while playing with your doll. It is one thing to have a tea party for your doll (use water for the tea), but you should not eat or drink when you are playing with your doll. Juice stains or sticky jelly will ruin her.

-Seal your doll in a plastic box. When you aren't playing with your doll you should put her away, but don't seal her in a plastic tub or box. If there is even the slightest bit of moisture in the tub she may get mold or mildew.

-Blow-dry or curl your doll's hair. Heat applied to the hair spells disaster. Style with a brush and a little water.

-Try and scrub away an ink mark from your doll's arms or legs. If you accidently get ink on her while she is helping you with your homework, don't try and scrub it away. Have your Mom help you fix it. You should cover her entire body except for the part with the ink, rub a little vegetable oil in to the stain and leave her in the sun. If you do this a few times the stain should disappear.

-Put doll clothes in the washer or dryer. You should hand wash doll clothes in a very mild soap and air dry them. When in doubt send the clothes to the dry cleaners.

If you follow these little suggestions you should be able to preserve & pass on your American Girl© Doll to the next generation of children. Now that's a return on investment!"
