To keep your MIAIO baby doll looking adorable and lasting for years, it’s important to handle and care for it properly. Whether your doll has a PP cotton-filled body or a full vinyl body, here are some helpful tips:
🧸 For PP Cotton-Filled Body Dolls (Cloth Body)
Cleaning:
- Gently wipe the vinyl limbs and head with a damp soft cloth.
- Avoid soaking or submerging the cloth body in water, as this may damage the filling and stitching.
- Use mild baby wipes or water-based cleaning solutions — no harsh chemicals or alcohol.
Handling:
- Always support the doll gently, especially when dressing or undressing.
- Avoid pulling on the limbs or head, as this may loosen the joints.
Clothing:
- Remove clothing carefully and avoid tight outfits that may stretch or tear the cloth.
- Clothes can be hand-washed separately using a mild detergent.
Storage:
- Store your doll in a cool, dry place, out of direct sunlight to prevent fading.
- Avoid humid environments to protect the fabric and filling.
- Wrapping your doll in a soft blanket when not in use helps maintain its condition.
🚿 For Full Vinyl Body Dolls (Washable Dolls)
Cleaning:
- Full vinyl dolls can be gently rinsed with lukewarm water if needed.
- Use a soft cloth or sponge with a mild baby soap — avoid scrubbing too hard.
- Be sure to dry the doll completely with a soft towel after cleaning.
Bathing:
- Yes, full vinyl dolls are safe for light water play under supervision!
- Do not leave the doll submerged in water for extended periods to protect any painted features.
Hair Care:
- If your doll has rooted or glued hair, use a soft baby brush or toothbrush to gently style it.
- You can lightly mist the hair with water or baby-safe detangling spray — never pull or tug.
Storage:
- Store the doll lying flat or in a seated position to avoid warping.
- Keep away from heat sources or direct sunlight to protect paint and vinyl texture.
❤️ Extra Tips:
- Avoid markers, pens, or sharp objects near your doll to prevent staining or scratches.
- These dolls are not designed for rough play — gentle care helps them last longer.
- Always supervise young children during play to ensure safe handling.
