Safety starts with materials and proper maintenance. Select bodies made from skin-safe silicone or thermoplastic elastomer (TPE) and follow the maker’s cleaning guidelines to avoid damage. After use, clean with mild soap and warm water; avoid harsh solvents or bleach that could degrade surfaces. For dolls with electronics, unplug power sources when not in use and store away from damp areas. If there are internal lights or motion features, inspect wiring regularly and replace worn parts through qualified service if needed.
Storage is a key safety issue. Keep the doll out of reach of children and pets, in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Use a breathable cover to prevent dust buildup and maintain hygiene. Don’t expose the doll to extreme heat or cold, which can warp materials. When moving or transporting, handle gently and provide adequate support to avoid tears or joint strain. Regular seam and joint checks help catch issues early. By following these guidelines, you can enjoy safe use at home while respecting others in your living space.
