[QUOTE="bblu8, post: 853695, member: 11738"]Does anyone know how to wash doll clothes if they're sewn into a porcelain doll? Or how to wash fabric parts of the body? I recently opened a box belonging to my grandmother that had a porcelain doll that had been stored away for 5-10 years. Parts of the doll (clothes, fabric body, and plastic hat) have yellow spots on them. I assume this is either mildew or foxing, I'm inclined to think it's the latter. Either way, it is unsightly and I've heard foxing may be related to mildew so I definitely want to get that cleaned up. So does anyone how to clean this stuff up and any recommendations on a cleaning solution? For what it's worth, the other porcelain dolls that were stored away do not have spots on them. And naturally, the one with the spots is everyone's favorite.[/QUOTE]
