For really bad ponies, I'll do a light wash using a clansing shampoo, it scrubs residue off the body and hair. I use a tooth brush. then i'll put them in a HOT water oxy clean soak. And then I will soak them in Hot water Apple Cider Vinagure And Baking soda. Then Ill Shampoo and conditioner the hair leave it in for a day. Use magic erasers, Goof off only if needed.

I admit, I'm a bit nervous to trying soaking them in hot water because of tail rust or potentially ruining their eyes/symbols. I've heard some conflicting stories. Some people have had great success, others have had disastrous results. How do you ensure that only good things happen to your ponies? So far my cleaning regimen has consisted of dishwashing liquid and/or baking soda under warm water with a soft-bristled toothbrush. Then I shampoo and condition their manes and tails before wrapping them up (so they have a nice natural curl) and placing them tails down on a drying rack. I use acetone and a Q-tip where necessary, and Plastic Booster on ink marks. But I have never had as great of success as what has been shown in so many of these photos, so I guess I just need to be brave and try out some new techniques. I'll start with a common pony and go from there.
@NamineEveningLight -- you say to never use bleach. I have heard this lots of times before and have never used bleach on a pony (to my knowledge). Plastic Booster doesn't contain bleach, does it? I haven't experienced any horrible results from using it, and the first time I tried it was several months ago and the pony in question still looks absolutely fine. I'm just a tad worried now, having sold ponies that I've used this on. I will definitely be careful with the dish soap, too. Do you recommend using something like a mild baby shampoo instead? I really do appreciate all your awesome cleaning tips, thanks so much.
