Pony cleaning questions

[Mana Minori]

Is it safe to boil a pony that has pindot, with its head on?

Is it wise to boil a pony with glitter on the symbols, if I'm not planning to restore them later? (should I? *amateur*)

Would it be better to surgically remove the head before boiling, to check its guts fr further mold (and because the tail is rusting and needs rerooting anyway)?

Oxiclean. Is it acceptable to use laundry detergent with oxiclean in it for cleaning pony innards?

Boiling a pony could lead to the glitter coming off of the cutie mark, so I would advise against it.

If you are to boil a pony past the neck seam, take the head off. Water can seep in. If you are trying to clean the insides of a pony with boiling water, take the head off. While water can seep in, not enough will get in. For pindot, just place the affected area in hot water for about a minute and scrape. One you feel the vinyl getting harder, reheat it Don't boil glitter symbols and don't use OxiClean on them, the glitter will come off. And you don't need to use OxiClean for cleaning ponies, just use anti bacterial soap and scrub. I'm not an expert with using stuff like OxiClean with ponies, so I'm not sure if it would be okay to use laundry detergent. The best I can give you as a substitute would be soap
