Strawberry Shortcake Minis brag

[Ponyfan]

Hi,

I've got some new Strawberry Shortcake minis. Does anyone know a good way to clean these without ruining them?

I would let them soak for a bit in a bowl with warm soapy water, and then try wiping off any of the grime.

Those black dots on Sour Grapes are not going to come off though..

Thanks Galactica. If they still have scents will the soapy water make them unscented?  I haven’t smelled to see if they’re still scented.

I've always just cleaned mine by wiping them with water and a cloth, but then again those are from my childhood, so I know where they have been and what has been done with them, etc. The figures do have holes in the bottom of them so something to keep in mind. Generally, I have found that wiping them down and then having them out in the open tends to help with the sticky/oiliness if they have been boxed a long time.

Thanks toyjunky.  I used a damp cloth and cleaned them up. A few of them still seem to have thier scents. Sour Grapes still smells strongly but on some of the others I can only smell a little scent.

Nope, the plastic was infused with the scent to washing them actually helps

They are solid rubber so no worry of getting water inside

Aww!

Congrats! I love SSC minis. I used to have an almost complete collection years ago and just started recollecting them last year.

Thank you Leave a Whisper and Icey. The minis are really cute.  I hope I’ll be able to add more to my collection.

These are adorable, I love strawberry shortcake even though I don’t have any myself.   
If your worried about them losing their scents, i’ve heard sealing scented toys in ziploc bags for a bit can bring out the scent, but I can’t confirm since i’ve never had a change to try myself.

I think the scent was mixed in with the vinyl-

I have had had good luck washing them in warm water very well to remove all dust and particles- then you can still faintly smell them
