    What kind of baby soap should I use to remove the mold?
    Community Answer
    I recommend Johnson's baby head-to-toe wash because it is gentle and cleansing, but you can use whatever you have on hand.

      • Some Barbie dolls have glitter on their bodies . Try not to scrub too hard on the doll.

      • Most Barbie dolls have rubber legs (it's not a bad thing , it's mostly to pose the doll and to allow the knees to be bent). Take care to clean that part delicately.
        Thanks

      • Doll clothing can become dirty from use. You can clean it without using water. Use the toothbrush to remove any stains found on the doll. If the stain persists, dampen the toothbrush and use that to clean the stain. Blow dry the clothing with low heat to dry it.
        Thanks
