How to Clean Snowbabies

Snowbabies are those cute, hand-painted figurines that depict children playing in the snow and performing other activities. Besides figurines, Snowbabies can be found in the form of ornaments, picture frames and special collections featuring well-known characters. Snowbabies are made from bisque and are all hand-painted. And while these figurines are very nice to look at, they should be handled as little as possible. Snowbabies cannot be immersed in water, which means that getting them clean can be very difficult.
