Proper cleaning and storage are essential to maintaining the hygiene, durability, and realism of your companion doll. Neglecting these aspects can lead to bacterial growth, material damage, and a reduced lifespan.

Cleaning should be done after each use. Use warm water and antibacterial soap to gently wash the doll’s skin, paying particular attention to any crevices or folds. Rinse thoroughly and pat dry with a soft towel. Powder the doll lightly with talcum powder or cornstarch to absorb any remaining moisture and prevent stickiness. Storage is equally important. Store your doll in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Use a doll stand or lay it flat on a soft surface to prevent pressure points. Avoid storing your doll in a cramped or cluttered space, as this can lead to damage. With proper cleaning and storage, you can keep your companion doll looking and feeling its best for years to come.
