So Soft Restoring - Mystery Stains

[SeashellnBubbles]

Others have used the oxygen carpet cleaner and had luck, and still others have tried tying their pony into a pillowcase before putting it in the washing machine on cool-warm water and a gentle cycle. DON'T PUT HER IN THE DRYER!! LOL.

Well darn, I was hoping deflocking was an option for my Twilight, but if the vinyl is stained too, I guess she's of no use and I'll just throw her away.

Don't do that! She's such an uncommon, expensive and HSA pony. I'm sure there's plenty of people who'd gladly give her a home.

I'm desperate to fix poor Paradise up. Since she was apparently burned, I know I can't put her back out in the sun. Is there anything I could try to whiten her up again, or is sue too far gone?

I can take her if she's just going to be trashed

What paints work on pony plastic?

[SeashellnBubbles]

You can try the peroxide and sun method. The sun won't further burn her because the UV rays won't be able to act on the plastic. Putting the peroxide in the sun simply increases the change of the peroxide to water and oxygen (that's why it's sold in a dark bottle and not a clear one) The whitening action is due to oxygenation, not bleaching (which is what putting her directly in the sun does). It isn't the UV acting upon the plastic, but the sun acting upon the peroxide that works.  It acts pretty quickly, so do it on a sunny day when you're home all day so you can go out and check her often.

EDIT - The peroxide turns into water and WILL intensify the rays of the sun if left out, plus the extra oxygen created will have dispersed, so the oxygenating action will be exactly the same as regular tap water...so pretty much nothing. The conversion of peroxide into water and oxygen will only take a few hours.
