Over the years, dolls can become stained and dirty.

It is especially important to take action early on, as spots on the face can ruin your beauty.

Luckily, you can easily remove stains at home without being a professional.
In this section, we'll show you some effective stain removal methods that will impress even the pros .

First, prepare a clean cloth, a cotton swab, and lukewarm water .
If the stain is not severe, surface dust and light dirt can easily be removed by gently wiping the face with a clean cloth.

However, since the plaster face is very delicate , it is important to avoid scrubbing too hard and to use gentle pressure.
This alone can have a significant effect.

If the stain is stubborn, using a small amount of lukewarm water to remove the stain can be effective.
Moisten a cotton swab with warm water and gently place it on the affected area.

The trick here is to not rub too hard, but to touch lightly about 10 times .
The stained area may change color slightly, but this is due to moisture and is nothing to worry about.
Then, let it dry naturally and your face will return to its original state.

Hina dolls are a symbol of traditional Japanese beauty and should be treated with care.

It is important to be conscious of protecting your family's precious treasures while caring for them .
This method allows you to easily remove stains at home, making your annual Hinamatsuri all the more enjoyable.

There are several reasons why spots appear on the faces of Hina dolls, but the main cause is oil and dust from the hands .
In particular, if you touch it directly with your hands, the oil will often appear as a stain over time.

The spots can appear in different locations and come in different colors, but they often look like light brown spots .
This is because oil and dirt remaining on the surface of the plaster will discolor over time.

Plaster is a very delicate material.
Although gypsum, whose main component is calcium sulfate , is hard, it is weak against external influences and is easily damaged by moisture and friction.

In particular, scrubbing with a wet cloth can scratch the surface, so care must be taken.

To prevent stains, it is important to first remove dust regularly .
If dust accumulates for a long period of time, it can absorb moisture and cause stains and mold.

Also, when handling Hina dolls, you can prevent oil from getting on them by wearing gloves or cleaning your hands before touching them .

Additionally, you need to pay attention to the storage environment.
Hina dolls are sensitive to moisture, so if they are left in a humid place for a long period of time, they are prone to stains.

When storing Hina dolls, it is ideal to store them in a well-ventilated place with humidity controlled .
Also, when using insect repellent, be careful not to let it come into direct contact with the Hina dolls, and we recommend protecting them by wrapping them in paper, etc.

This prevents stains and protects the material at the same time.

The main causes of mold growth on Hina dolls are humidity and poor storage conditions .

Mold loves moisture, so it is especially likely to grow during Japan's rainy season and other humid seasons.
When mold grows on craft items made from delicate materials, such as Hina dolls, it can not only damage their appearance, but can also cause damage to the material itself.

Here are some specific steps you can take to completely remove mold and prevent it from coming back .

First, if mold has appeared, gently wipe off the surface mold with a soft cloth or brush .
In particular, if mold has appeared on delicate areas such as plaster or silk, it is important to remove the mold gently without using force.

Next, use a cloth dampened with a small amount of alcohol to wipe off the mold.
Alcohol is an effective method as it helps prevent mold from growing back.
However, when using alcohol, be careful not to damage the material and always test it on an inconspicuous area first.

After removing the mold, allow the doll to dry thoroughly in a well-ventilated place .
It is important to dry it thoroughly as any remaining moisture can cause mold to grow again.

If you are unsure about removing mold in your home, one option is to hire a professional cleaning company .
You can rest assured that cleaning companies will remove mold using the best method possible for delicate materials.

In addition, to prevent recurrence, storage methods must be reviewed .
When storing Hina dolls, it is important to carefully control the humidity to prevent moisture from building up.
It is also effective to use moisture-proofing agents or moisture-absorbing sheets.

Keeping the area well-ventilated and with low humidity will help prevent mold from growing again.
If you follow these steps, you can keep your furniture looking beautiful for a long time without worrying about mold .
