Cleaning and care instructions for Gotz play dolls
Outer cleaning:
If your doll gets dirty the outside can be cleaned with a damp cloth and some mild detergent at any time.
Hard-bodied dolls:
Hard-bodied dolls are made completely from vinyl. When playing it quickly can happen that the little darling gets dirty or knots in her hair.
No worries!
Your Gotz doll is surface washable and can be cleaned with a mild shower gel. The doll's hair can be washed with a mild shampoo, it can be combed and airdried or blowdried.
Soft-bodied dolls:
Soft-bodied dolls have a padded body. The head and parts of the arms and legs are made from vinyl.
These dolls can be handwashed with cold water or with temperatures up to 30° C or alternatively be washed in a washing machine.
If using the washing machine put the doll inside a white pillowcase to avoid any color transfer from the pillowcase.
All dolls should be dried carefully afterwards. The dolls can be put in the tumble dryer.
Inner cleaning of Aquini dolls:
After feeding (not with anything other than water) or bathing the doll it is important to wash the inside of the doll. The inside of the doll can become contaminated and may lead to mold formation if not cleaned. If possible, try not to feed the doll with food like milk or oatmeal, for example, as this may cause moldering of the doll very quickly.
To clean the inside of the doll fill the little bottle with lukewarm water and some dish soap and fill the doll. Repeat this process several times until all traces have disappeared. The doll should then be left upright on the potty for ½ an hour allowing all fluid to drain.

After the clothing has dried it can be ironed with the iron on the lowest setting.
