Removing ink from beloved dolls face ( part 2 )

[bossychloe]

Hi, Sorry but failed to mentions that favourite dolls face is made of a rubber type substance...I am unsure as to where to seek help for this one so I have posted this question in a few different topics...

During a recent holiday my nieces favourite doll was packed along with various comics/magazines etc., unfortunately when it was removed from the bag the dolls face was covered in ink which must have transfered from the comic.

Does any one know of anything that will remove the ink nothing will placate her, please, please help we are desperate!

Thanks.

try nail varnish remover, i have tried it a similar thing and it gets most inks off? x

Be careful with nail polish remover..it can be too abrasive and remove any face paint the doll may have.

I restore dolls on occasion, and find that Oxy10 spot cream works well on most stains. Dab a little on the stain, and try putting the doll in as much sunlight as possible. Don't worry too much about the sunlight bit, as it can still work well without!

hairspray removes ink from leather - might be worth a try?
