How to Clean and Care for an Organic Doll with Natural Rubber Head

Quick answer

Clean your organic doll with a natural rubber head using a damp cloth and mild soap, then air dry away from direct heat. Avoid submerging the rubber head in water.

Step-by-step cleaning and care routine

1. Spot-clean the rubber head with a damp cloth: Dampen a soft cloth with warm water and a drop of mild soap (like baby soap). Gently wipe the natural rubber head, avoiding the painted face. Do not soak or submerge the head—water can seep into the latex and cause swelling or mold inside. Never use alcohol, bleach, or abrasive wipes on the rubber head.
2. Hand-wash the cotton body separately: Turn the doll's dress and body inside out. Wash in cool water with a gentle detergent, rubbing stains lightly with your fingers. Rinse thoroughly until no soap remains. Squeeze out excess water gently—do not wring or twist the cotton. Wash the body and dress before they touch the rubber head to avoid transferring soap residue.
3. Air dry away from heat and sunlight: Lay the doll flat on a clean towel in a shaded, well-ventilated area. Reshape the body and dress while damp. Do not use a dryer, radiator, or direct sun—heat can harden the natural rubber and shrink the organic cotton. Allow 24 hours for full drying, especially inside the rubber head if any moisture got near the seam.

Product facts

• Teeny Organic Doll with Natural Rubber Head: The doll's head is made from pure natural latex and hand-painted with water-based ink, while the body and dress are organic cotton jersey. This means the rubber head needs spot-cleaning only, while the cotton body can be gently hand-washed—but both require low heat and no harsh chemicals.
