How to Remove Marker From Baby Dolls

For little girls, a baby doll is a treasured toy that is loved and cared for and made more beautiful by the addition of marker artwork. A little pair of hands armed with markers will make an otherwise pristine doll look ready for the trash can. Save yourself the aggravation and cost of replacing the doll by cleaning off the marks with products readily available on the market.

Things You'll Need

Adhesive tape
Cotton balls
Rubbing alcohol
Acetone nail polish remover
Soapy water

Instructions

- 1
  Lay the doll on a flat surface. Cover painted areas of the doll, such as the eyes, with tape. This will protect these areas from exposure to the cleaning products.
- 2
  Wet a cotton ball with rubbing alcohol. Rub the ball over the affected area. Let the area dry and examine it. If the marks are gone, you're done.
- 3
  If marks remain, wet another cotton ball with nail polish remover that contains acetone. (Read the label on the nail polish remover to ensure it contains acetone.)
- 4
  Rub the acetone over the marked area. Allow the doll to dry and examine the area. If the marker stain remains, continue to rub it with the acetone.
- 5
  Wipe off the doll with soapy water to remove any remaining nail polish remover or rubbing alcohol residue and odor.
