Restoring barbies is quite easy if you know what to use on her hair and body. I have found a dirty barbie can be easliy cleaned with goo gone, it does not affect the vinyl and then use a light amount of comet to take off light ink and to get oily residue off and ground in dirt. Use your fingers and a little water and rub all over barbie to get out deep grit. The hair is not like our hair, so it needs to be handled differently. Wash the hair in a natural degreaser such as orange product shampoos, it will take out the grime and grit. Then condition with a orange product conditioner . To curl the hair, you will need to boil water, yes boil water, and curl hair with paper ends and curlers for permanents, the small ones work best. Then after boiled, and curled, dip hair in water for about 20 seconds, then immediately dip in ice cold water and take out and let dry. The hair will then be set and can be styled and fixed after dry. Now you have a beautiful barbie, and not much work. thanks for looking. picasimus, collectibles and more savings always.
