How to Care for Porcelain Dolls

Set your hair dryer on low and blow dry the porcelain doll to remove any loose dust. A can of compressed air, similar to what you would use to clean a computer keyboard, can be used for hard to remove dust on a doll's hair and clothing.

Remove stubborn marks and smudges with a wet eraser. Since a doll's features, such as lips, eyes, and blushing cheeks, are painted on, care is taken not to remove any of the paint.

Mix a solution of water, mild detergent (preferably one you would use for delicate clothing) or dish washing soap. Dampen a Q-tip or cotton ball that has been dampened with the soapy solution.

Slowly and with small circular movements, work over the doll with the wet cotton ball or Q-tip. Gently rub over any noticeably dirty or dusty porcelain areas on the doll.
