Preserving The Softness Of Silicone: The Itsdoll Art Figure Professional Care Guide

Every Itsdoll art figure is a masterpiece of craftsmanship and heart. To ensure your companion stays in pristine condition, we suggest treating maintenance as a “ritual”—a dialogue between you and your collection. Silicone is a material of unique beauty, known for its lifelike texture and resilience; protecting that “warmth” requires both knowledge and care. This manual integrates professional cleaning steps with daily care guidelines to help you protect every detail of your cherished figure.
I. The Ritual of Cleansing: Deep Cleaning
Cleaning after every interaction is not just about hygiene; it is about preserving the delicate, skin-like texture of the silicone material.
The Cleaning Steps:
Preparation: Gather gentle anti-bacterial soap, a soft cleaning kit, skin-friendly absorbent towels, and a dedicated internal flushing device.
External Care: Use warm water (<40°C/104°F) and mild anti-bacterial soap to gently wipe the surface. Note: If your figure features electronic components, strictly avoid all ports and sockets. Never submerge the head or the main body in water.
Internal Care: Use a dedicated flushing pump or automated cleaning kit to gently cleanse internal cavities.
Complete Drying: This is the most critical step. First, use a soft towel to pat dry, then use a specialized dryer for internal channels. Before storing, ensure the interior is completely dry; absolutely no moisture should remain.
II. Regular Maintenance: The Art of Care
Consistent, gentle habits are the best way to extend the lifespan of your collection.
Skin Rejuvenation (The Powder Method): Over time, silicone may develop a natural tackiness. After cleaning and drying, or when storing for long periods, evenly apply a thin layer of high-quality cornstarch or baby powder. This prevents stickiness and restores that signature silky-smooth feel.
Joint & Bone Management: The skeleton is the architecture of beauty. When posing, operate within a natural range of motion. Avoid forcing joints into extreme bends or holding them under heavy stress for long periods to prevent metal fatigue.
Face & Makeup Protection: The delicate hand-finished makeup is the soul of your figure. Please be gentle; never rub or scrub the face, as this can mar the exquisite detailing.
Posture Management: Art thrives on fluidity. We do not recommend leaving your figure in the same position indefinitely. If storing for a long time, please change its pose at least every two weeks to allow the material and skeleton to decompress naturally.
III. Scientific Storage: A Sanctuary for Your Collection
Ideal Placement: We recommend laying the figure flat on a soft mattress or in a dedicated storage box. If using hooks or stands, ensure the weight is distributed evenly.
Dust Protection: Cover your figure with a light, breathable, cotton-based dust cover. Keep the air circulating—never use plastic wrap or film, as this traps humidity.
Environmental Code: Always store in a cool, dry, and dark place. Avoid direct sunlight or high-heat environments to prevent paint fading or material deformation.
IV. The Forbidden Zone (Red Lines)
