Flower Fillies - Accessory Staining! Any cleaning ideas?
« on: August 23, 2012, 05:20:43 PM »
I had ordered a brand new Sweetie Belle from the flower fillies set by herself off eBay, and she's arrived in a just-out-of-the-box state... with pink marks on both sides of her face from her flower crown!  :mad: I was expecting the tiny dent in her leg from the flower bouquet but I wasn't prepared for her to look like she has some kind of rash. Any cleaning ideas? One of the marks is so close to her eye that I'm nervous about trying to scrub it without damaging her eye paint.

first try magic erasers, they are the best thing to start with however it sounds like what i had with my FS pinkie, she was stained from here saddle/dress, sunfadeing might be the only thing to get rid of this, you will have to cover everything on the pony with tin foil and only leave the stained area exposed. good luck

You can also use acne cream and a little bit of sun fade time, works faster then just sun fading. In the G3 line there was a huge issue with staining from there customs on the first Halloween ponies.  If you do want to display her with her stuff on, use a touch of plastic wrap to prevent it from staining again.

That sucks! :(

I would try acetone/nail polish remover (be careful of the paint, it will strip it!) and see if that helps at all.

Also, don't discredit sunfading!  Though sometimes it takes a little bit of time...

She as "crown sores" rather than "saddle sores" oh no!

For that kind of plastic on plastic staining, I honestly think sunfading will be your best bet - but you should always try acetone and magic eraser first!
Thank you Matcha for my gorgeous Baby Fifi avi :hug:
