Prevention is always better than cure, and although each clothing model comes well protected with its coatings when you buy a mannequin, you also buy everything else you\u2019ll need to keep it clean. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
When cleaning a mannequin, you\u2019ll need: <\/p>\n\n\n\n
- \n
- Distilled water <\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n
- \n
- A clean washcloth <\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n
- \n
- Baking soda <\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n

How to clean a mannequin<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
First of all, make sure your mannequin is completely naked, so you don\u2019t damage any clothing or accessories and you have full access to every part of it. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
You can then start by dipping your clean washcloth in the distilled water. It is important to use distilled water rather than tap or ordinary bottled water, as these drinking varieties may contain chemicals that will damage your mannequin. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Then, wring out the washcloth so it is damp and gently run it over your mannequin in smooth, circular motions. Do this regularly, and you may find it is enough to keep it clean for a long time. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
If you have bought some of our clothes mannequins for sale and left them to collect dirt for a while, or you have a more stubborn stain, you may need more than a damp cloth. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
In this case, take your baking soda and create a paste with the distilled water. Use equal parts of each ingredient to get a good consistency, and then use the toothbrush to work the paste into the stains. You\u2019ll only need a small amount to wash mannequins quickly. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
This should be enough to make your mannequin as good as new, but you can use vinegar if you aren\u2019t happy with the result. Make sure you use apple cider vinegar that has been well-filtered. It is highly acidic, so you won\u2019t want to leave it on your mannequin for too long. Once you have applied the vinegar to the stain, wipe it off with your damp washcloth. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
