My mum was clearly thinking ahead when she wouldn’t let me put my sea ponies in the bath 😂
The hair fibre that sheds is definitely polypropylene. It's what I mean when I say this fibre "rots" as it breaks down and why I nervously look at the current slate of Mattel dolls using it as they're all on limited time, no matter how nicely someone can take care of it....
I would agree 100% that it’s poly but it’s hard to explain… it doesn’t shed like poly does. G3 super long hair Rainbow Flash (pink streak) and Daisy Dreams from MLP have this exact fiber and MLP g3 only used nylon in that case. It’s very odd. I think it was an issue with the dye or something. I guess it also affects this orange which I haven’t observed in MLP yet
Sharing some love from a bioaerosol analyst who worked with mold for 7 years ❤
In regards to mold, vinegar won't kill all species of mold, and it is a slow acting acid, taking much longer to break down the spore walls. You would have to leave them to sit in the vinegar for sometime before it works. I highly recommend peroxide, it works super well and you can end up removing stains with peroxide as well. Be warned that "mildew" isn't always just harmless spores, those dots are just the hyphae and structures that the spores grew on. And spores aren't dead necessarily just because they haven't been near water. Spores can stay dormant for a long time lol I highly recommend, that if you truly want to make sure spores are 'dead' peroxide will be your friend 🥰
I'll re-treat them with peroxide- thank you so much! My area of specialization in biology is well. invertebrate paleontology so I am clueless with this sort of thing ahaha... I had to treat household mold back in New York and heard vinegar was a good call.
Hydrogen peroxide and UV also can magically restore vinyl and plastic to its original colors after sunfading so I've been planning to buy quite a bit for a while :)
@xCanadensis Lol mold was a huge passion of mine for so long so I managed to keep a few special tidbits tucked away in my brain 😆 Peroxide takes mere minutes to kill spores, and while vinegar works, it could take up to an hour or more 😅 That's just to say that in a pinch, vinegar will work but if you have peroxide, it would give you faster results 🤗 Lol and please, please, for anyone reading this, don't use bleach lol it doesn't kill mold, it just makes it bleached lol and thank you for responding Brooke, I didn't want to sound too know-it-all-y lol just wanted to offer up some suggestions for next time 💜 Sending love from Michigan 🥰
You didn't at all- I really had no idea! Luckily I did leave them in that vinegar for quite a long time but I should have done more research. Thanks so, so much! I'm hoping to do a series on stain removal and sunfading specifically at.. some point.. so peroxide will be around to do a follow-up to this to explain better about treating mold thanks to you :)
@xCanadensis Aw I'm really so happy I could help 💗 I can't wait for your update video and to see you give these wonderful little mercreatures a whole new life 🥰
@@alicebones12 What concentration of vinegar is needed? I got a brand new rainbow high how need the treatment. (And since I know vinegar is safe for the cloths)
when rootinn hair it helps to separate plugs out first and then spritz with water so they stay together, then you twist each piece before rooting them so they stay together
At I have used for mild and mildew is a specific mold and mildew spray also I use false teeth cleaning tablets or tablets that you use to clean babysitting bottles with the tabs are less abrasive than mold and mildew cleaner depends on the condition of the mold
I love this sort of content!!!! Ever since the pandemic I’ve been scared of thrifting for health reasons but man this makes me want to go to my local thrift store and find some vintage toys and restore them… this video was so calming on a horrible day, thank you for recording your process it was so fascinating!!
I loveee when you share videos about this line, I have a couple of these dolls still from when I was a kid and it's so cool that there's content about them available, you introduced me to the name of them because I had no idea what they were called until you made a video about them! I live in Australia and my mum bought these for me from The Reject Store and I was OBSESSED with them and have such magical memories of using the pellet in their tails through the bathtub. I wish there was more information about them out there, my remaining dolls are so well loved their hair is absolutely matted but I could never let them go, they've brought me too much joy. 🧜♀️🧜♀️🧜♀️
these dolls are so cute ! when you showed the inside of the hippo i was shocked, i wouldnt have even thought to clean the inside of the heads 😶 makes me want to clean all my dolls
I think brushes like that are for bog dogs with really thick fur. So it doesn't hurt them because because their fur is so thick it never touches their skin. I think if you are going to use a brush like that you should get a much smaller one. It will probably be easier to use and not cut up your hand.
I LOVE using straw cleaners to clean inside doll heads.
Sea Mist is my favorite! This video unlocked a core memory for me lol I remember begging my mom to buy her for me. The cat mermaid was amazing! I would pay good money to have them again. 💖
HAPPY EASTER!!❤
There’s a round face brush at dollar tree that works great. It’s soft and has a bigger surface for cleaning 😊
Ohh I loved them as a child. My sister and I saved our pocket money for them. There was only one store in our city that had them. My fovorite was the princess one with the dolphin that could swim with it's tail in the bathtub and my sister's favorite was the bride one with the two baby twins. We also had two or three Playset. A castle one, a ferris wheel one and a shell shower, which could also have been part of one of the other sets. In germany the color tablets where from a company named Tinti which makes bath color things for kids. So many beautiful memories. Thank you for reminding me of them! 🥰
Such cute dolls cannot wait for more restorations
Pet groomer here: ummm please please please anyone who has a long haired dog use slicker brushes like this on your dog it’s very important in preventing painful matts
I don’t know anything about them but it freaks me out that it sliced up my hand so badly. I imagine it has a use (long haired dog makes sense) but I imagine using it on a cat or a short haired dog would hurt :( I’m glad it has an actual purpose! Sorry if that came off like I was acting like an expert I was trying to ask what the use actually was 😅
@@xCanadensis no no don’t worry I just wanted to specify because lots of people won’t use the proper brush because they are worried about them being sharp but the sharpness is important when used correctly
Haha I literally just ended watching yesterday’s video, glad you already washed those poor babies! (Btw I clearly remember playing with these as a kid too, I live in France and I can testify they were pretty common here 😉)
I had a strawberry shortcake Crepe Suzette recently, she has spots on her body, I've done everything to get them off but no luck.
That stinks!
These are very unusual, i have never seen them before .are they 90s toys .❤its very satisfying watching them get all cleaned up
Oh wow! they look so much better after having a wash. Btw I went on that page and saw a turtle with a mermaid tail 😮 it looked kinda silly in a cute way
Watch retro geek crafts to restore the hippo. I think touching up with paint could work well.
I have tried looking for any other video or media about these dolls but couldn't. So I live gs fact that you collect o obscure doll lines that not many other peeps do as I do the same and feel super special and unique for doi g so lol
There is an anti mildew cleaner, or you can use diluted bleach ( it takes off mildew)
I just got an Uma with mold on her hat. I don't want to return the doll because she was the last one and has a perfect face. I was told to use vinegar for cloth to avoid discoloration. What concentration of bleach to clean the doll? I'm afraid of the hair getting discolorated.
yay so glad to see them cleaned up, there soo cute!
Great job, they turned out so nice
I actually like the doll planet for reroot tool and hair
I am curious to see how you ar going to display all of these as I am in the process of trying g to figure out how to display my huge recently acquired collections
There might be some kind of synthetic hair in the same colors, if it's too damaged or falls out too much. I don't know much about dolls or doll hair.
Retro toys RUclips has good videos for getting mildew
Great finds I love these dolls and have quite a few cos I'm from the UK.
Thank you for making this! I love learning about new and unique doll lines and you've helped with this including these and ofc Transhion Ally (so so robbed)
Ok so hii i am talking abt the rainbow high heads vid the sunny head is from the new luna and sunny set and is gona be out in june so i think is relly rare so i whant u to know
Hi Dolls 👋 I'm here for it! Also Happy Easter 🐣 friend ❤
Amg! I have the green one! And the blue one!!!! 🥺
Omg I had these 😮😮😮
As a British person we are so sorry 😂
So do you plan on rerooting these dolls?
I don't use those kind of pet brushes either. For sure it's to pokey! I think I trashed them all, never thought about using them for my dolls 😆 I do have a metal brush for the really bad hair, but not those ones...😉
Save the tinsel!!
The live mycelium of the mold lives in plastic and rubber. It can never be eliminated.
Oh it absolutely can be eliminated. It does not live forever and cannot live in certain conditions.
They are soo cute I found the hippo with the princess one in original packaging and maybe i buy them if they stay aviable 😂, My absolute favourite is the Red head one, unfortunatly i only found two Figures in one of all my thrifting Apps from the same seller so they are really rare but cheap (20€)
the hair sheds the same way my poor g3 rainbow flash did 🥲
Same:( mine is missing that pink streak too unfortunately
i brush my dolls over a towel (when they're wet) or a blanket (when they're dry), i cant stand the sound of porcelain scratching
Hah sorry! The towel will have its fibers pulled by the brush which is very annoying to me
@@xCanadensis no def, when i did that the towel got scrambled up lmao
same! i have a different type of towel specifically for this, it doesnt really have the fiber that would get pulled, its very smooth, usually called a fast drying towel. tho the brush i use doesnt look as sharp so im not sure if the towel would get scratched up by one like this
👍
Simply by looking into the hippo mermaid makes me deeply unsettled
the mildew gave me a headache thru the screen
I loathe mildew… it’s so stubborn. This didn’t smell at all as it was clearly long gone but still left the nasty appearance. Luckily only ever dealt with it once when there was a leak under a guest bathroom sink
girl if you dont stop putting that dirty ass water on your hands😭😭😭😭
I’m… cleaning them… with soap… of course the water will be dirty… how do you suggest I clean things? 🧍♀️
Um....she can wash her hands when she's done...in fact, I assume she DID wash her hands.
@@xCanadensis it was a joke but its alright
