Pony Corral / How Bad is OxiClean for Glitter Symbols?
« on: January 29, 2012, 03:42:55 PM »
I know it will take off the glitter. Does it remove the symbol completely or does it leave the paint? Does the temperature of the water or the amount of time you let the pony soak affect how bad it is for the symbols?
A lady at church gave me a HUGE box of ponies when she found out that I collect them. They were her son's and they have definitely not been stored well over the years. Most of these are common, but the mildew seems to be removable. I'd like to clean them up enough to sell them, but need to find a safe way to do it quickly for time's sake.
I've cleaned up the ones with regular symbols that I intend to keep and an OxiClean bath takes the mildew right off. Unfortunately, there are TONS of glitter symbol ones that I would like to clean up enough to sell or trade.

Included in the bunch was a complete set of Birthflower Ponies, most of which are cleaning up ok, and a matching sheet set. Not too shabby!
