Keeping Childhood Memories: Storing Doll Clothes

Studies on gender differences reveal that boys love trucks and girls love dolls. Dolls enrich the value of responsibility and dependability of children.  Young girls act like sisters, best friends, and mothers to their dolls. They do not simply treat them as ordinary toys; rather, they interact with them like real human beings. Some girls converse with their doll toys. For a 4-year old child, a doll listens to the desires of her heart.

Like human beings, dolls need to be taken care of. They require proper care and maintenance to preserve their beauty and natural appeal. Their skin and hair may tarnish over time. Similarly, fiber strands on their clothes might break down. Manufacturers recommend fabric-friendly detergents for washing doll clothes. These detergents contain mild chemical solutions.

Do you have doll toys sitting on your shelf? Here are some hints and tips to maintain their class, elegance, and beauty. First, keep them away from light. Like human skin, dolls are sensitive to the heat and UV rays of the sun. Natural light can blemish their plastic skin. Oftentimes, overexposure to sunlight turns fair-colored skin to yellowish shade. Similarly, it can fade costumes and doll clothes. You do not want your 18 inch doll to look like a pale, young girl.

Second, keep your dolls in a cool and dry environment. Ideal storage temperature for dolls ranges from 65-50 degrees Fahrenheit. This preserves the fine texture of fabric strands, as well as the polished color of doll clothes. Doll clothes for 18 inch dolls must not be stored in a cold or hot attic or basement. Otherwise, it may cause discoloration on garments. Similarly, stay away from incandescent lights like fluorescent bulbs. Like sunlight, heat and radiation can discolor doll clothes.

Third, keep your dolls and doll clothes for 18 inch doll in a closed case. Do not keep them on wooden shelves or cardboard boxes. If you like to keep your dolls in their original boxes, place an acid-free tissue on the box. Likewise, wrap doll clothes on acid-free garments before storing them on your drawer.

Children have simple pleasures and ordinary demands. They do not like extravagant gifts. For them, doll clothes for 18 inch doll are best Christmas presents. Keep your childhood memories, and store your most beloved doll toys in the proper place.
