Clothing and fabric care matters for preserving the overall look and longevity of a sex doll. Start with a simple routine: separate clothes by fabric type (natural fibers vs synthetics) and inspect seams, zippers, and embellishments for wear. Hand washing is generally safer than machine washing for most doll outfits. Use cool or lukewarm water and a mild, unscented detergent. Gently agitate and rinse until no suds remain, then press out excess water without twisting the fabric. Lay flat or hang to air-dry away from direct heat or sunlight, which can fade colors and weaken fibers.
Different fabrics require specific care. Cotton and wool blends may shrink if exposed to heat, while synthetic fabrics like polyester blends typically tolerate mild washing but benefit from gentler cycles. For delicate items, place them in a mesh laundry bag and use a gentle cycle with cold water. Ironing should be avoided on delicate fabrics; if necessary, use the lowest heat setting and place a cloth between the iron and fabric. Store clothing in breathable garment bags or drawers to prevent dust buildup and moisture accumulation.
Seasonal maintenance helps too. Rotate outfits so no single item becomes overly exposed to light or humidity. Keep a small kit with stain remover, fabric freshener, and retractable seam rippers for minor repairs. By treating doll clothing with care, you protect its appearance and extend the time between replacements, keeping the wardrobe looking cohesive and ready for use.
