How do I clean my Nanchen doll?
If your doll needs a bath, by hand is best. With warm water and a wool detergent.
If the wool stuffing gets too hot and wet it will turn to felt and become lumpy. Do not brush, rub, wring or spin dollies. Gently squeeze as much water out as possible and leave to dry in a gently warm (not hot) place on a towel.
