How to Remove Glue From Vinyl Dolls

Vinyl dolls can last a lifetime if they are well cared for. Even if you find a vinyl doll that has seen better days, many stains or deposits on the doll can be removed. To remove glue or any other stain from a vinyl doll, you should start with the mildest form of cleanser before moving on to stronger cleansers or solvents. It may take a specialized product to remove the glue, depending on the type of glue and how long it has been there.
