[gypsyunicorn]

I have a lot of g1 I want to bring back to beauty but I need some tips...
I have heard people mention oxiclean so I puchased some generic of it but Im not sure what it all is good to clean and how to use it...
Also those little black tiny dots are pin dot right? How do we rid of those?
I will probably be posting ponies over the next few weeks with asking advice on how to repair...alot of these are going to be up for future trades....thanks for any help

For pindot mold, add a scoop of oxy clean into a pot of water and boil it until the foam almost goes over the top of the pot or until the water appears to be boiling.
Remove the pot from the stove and put it into the sink.
Take the pony's head off  (so the water goes in and OUT easily) and drop the pony into the pot. (You can also take out the pony's tail since there's no need to boil that.)
Cover it and wait for it to cool down enough that you can touch the water. (BE SURE YOU ARE WEARING GLOVES!! OXY CLEAN IS AWFUL ON THE SKIN!!!)
Pour some dish soap (preferably antibacterial but doesn't need to be) on the area where the pin dot mold is and scrub it for a while with a toothbrush or a sponge that has a scrubbing side and it should come off rather easily. Hope this helps!!
Also should note that oxy clean tends to make pony hair dry and frizzy so be sure to wash it *completely* off the pony and have some conditioner ready for fixing the dryness.


Boiling ponies in oxy clean a few times is also good for whitening. It takes several boils, but the results can vary from a huge difference to minimal difference. Depends on the pony I guess!

mlp preservation project - extremely helpful with all pony types, playsets and making flutterwings.

MLP: Ponyland Press - has care tips as well but it also has put up matching dollyhair colors to each pony.


these are the two sites I go to seek advice. Currently I'm working to see how that peroxide thingi is working for my yellowed ponies.
 Hope this helps though as I'm not much experienced cleaner yet.
