Okay, let's try to answer these! Just look for microfiber vent dusters. They will be mop looking things on thin wooden dowels. This is the pack I'm currently using. But it doesn't have to be that specific brand. There's tons of nearly identical ones. Just look for something in that style. As I've mentioned a few times, I used to painstakingly research different soaps for people. Going through every individual ingredient. What I found is the vast majority of soaps were fine with TPE. What was more likely to be a problem is the soaps reacting poorly to the people using them. Just use whatever regular liquid hand soap you use and call it good. Remember, the key thing with soap is diluting it with warm water. That mitigates most of the potential hazards while still maintaining the benefits. Recommended dilutions differ, 1:5, 1:6, 1:9, and 1:10 all frequently being mentioned. But really it just comes down to filling a container with warm water and squirting a few bits of soap into there and mixing it up. I don't recall seeing an inflatable drying toll. So sex doll and sex doll accessory retailers actually do sell tampons for drying purposes. It's actually pretty easy to clean as long as you know about it, and Tantaly seems to have moved away from those designs with more recent models. You just gently keep pushing the drying rod or microfiber stick deeper into that chamber. The microfiber sticks are particularly good for them because they tend to be longer, whereas the longer the drying rods the more fragile they are. There are some tunnel designs that are longer than typical drying rods but the microfiber dusters can reach to the very ends easily. Up to you. Some people like to use flavored lube with their dolls, to enhance simulated oral sex. The key thing is you want to lube up yourself and the inside of the tunnels before you do penile penetration. This is the complicated subject. Avoid silicone and PVC. Clothing that has been drenched in clothing dye can often cause staining. This is a solvable problem but really bad staining cases can take a while to dissolve. Typically dark colored clothing has more clothing dye that can cause staining and cheaper clothing is often slathered and dye and isn't very color fast. But staining can still happened with good quality garments. Best practice is frequent washing the garment before putting it on the doll and keeping exposure time low. Sultry Dollwear is a website and retailer that was set up by a community member here. My recollection is they have some really good articles about doll dress up and stain prevention. One thing I will say is don't buy any clothing until you physically have the doll in hand. I kind of already addressed that in 6 because I missed the part about excluding clothing. But whatever clothes you want on it. It's your doll. Just take the necessary precautions. But since I'm riding this up quickly, I suppose I'll kind of flip-flop the questions. Make sure you only use water-based lube don't use silicone based lube. Also, some people think using condoms will help with cleanup. It doesn't, and most condoms are made from materials that don't interact well with the TPE. Also avoid contact with anything that's made from PVC or silicone. Both materials don't play well with TPE, exposure time is a huge factor, limited contact likely won't make a difference. But extended contact will. Do also note that the black overbag is black, heavily dyed and PVC lined. You don't want to put the doll in contact with the overbag for very long. Always have something in between the overbag and the doll. Humidity is probably the bigger factor. The overbag and Styrofoam combo can keep some humidity out. I also put desiccant pucks (like the kind use for weapons and electronic cases and I suppose these days 3D printing filament) in my doll styrofoam to keep things dry even though my environment isn't all that humid. But a very humid environment will be very difficult for safe doll storage. Not scalding hot. No boiling water. The general rule of thumb is to keep it underneath 44° C or 112° F and ideally keep things at or below 40° C and 100° F. Your typical bath or shower usually won't be hot enough to cause a problem. I'm already taking the time to answer your list. This information is really easy to find. And I'm already rushing because I got your passive aggressive message about wanting an answer while I was already in the middle of writing you a response. When I have more time I might write up a list for you. But one of the most important doll maintenance skills is being able to find information on your own. Once you got a hang of it cleaning is pretty easy it's just time-consuming. It's not something that you really should need a checklist for. When you feel like you need more lube? When and doubt it's always best to use more lube. You can tell by feel when you need more lube. And when and how much will differ depending on the doll, personal preference, and what lube you're using. As you become more accustomed to using the doll you'll have a better idea of how much you need and when you need to refresh. But when you're starting out, it doesn't hurt to use more. And not using enough can cause excessive friction balling.
