Aww, yay, you rescued Bow Tie You can wash her with water and dish soap, then, after rinsing that off, add conditioner to her wet hair and comb it out to get it straight as possible (I use a plastic Barbie brush to comb out my ponies' conditioned hair, but you can use anything). Leave the conditioner in the pony's hair for a while and meanwhile give her a gentle scrub with baking soda (that's my preferred method) to get any remaining surface dirt or marks off. Then rinse the pony, making sure to rinse the conditioner completely out, pat her as dry as possible, and then let her air dry. She'll be a lot cleaner, but her hair will probably still be frizzy. There are methods for reducing frizz, but I've never used them and someone else here will know more about that. Once she's completely dry (if you live in a humid climate, this might take a day or two), you can try to gently remove her head and take out the rattling washer. Early ponies like Bow Tie generally have easy heads to remove. Others here will also have some good cleaning tips. Good luck!
Thank for advice, I took her head off earlier because I got dish soap in her. Also, I discovered that she had mildrew inside of her, most of came off when I took off her head, and the rest came off after I soaked her in vinegar. The good thing was the loose washer had no rust on it.
Update: I finished cleaning her up and putting her together, tonight. Now, I need to get the only piece of pony wear that I have which is not here. I boiled wash and trimmed her tail and added a new ribbon to accent her purple eyes. Also, I put a bell on the bow.visitors can't see pics , please register or login
What a great find and well done on restoring her - she looks so pretty It's so satisfying when you get to put the final finishing-touch ribbon on the tail. Now... have you caught the restoration bug? Will you be on the look-out for more ponies to revive? It's addictive!
