We all know sex dolls require regular cleaning: both to protect your investment and ensure hygiene. But many owners face a frustrating dilemma: with each wash, their love doll’s meticulously applied factory makeup gradually fades, smears, or disappears completely.
If this sounds familiar, you’ve found the right guide. Below, we’ll reveal professional techniques for cleaning without damaging makeup, plus maintenance tips to maximize your doll’s original paint longevity.
Pre-Cleaning Preparations
Before cleaning your real dolls, proper preparation is essential. You’ll need the right tools and must understand which cleaners or techniques can damage the makeup.

Critical Don’ts
Gentle Cleaning Steps
Let’s break down the cleaning process into face and body care, with detailed methods for each area.
Hand Washing First
Always wash your hands thoroughly before touching your doll to prevent transferring dirt and oils.
For Face Makeup
Facial makeup creates sex doll with a lifelike appearance. Thus, we have to take extra care during cleaning.
Dust Removal
Gently sweep face with soft makeup brush - never wipe with cloths (static electricity damages pigments).
Spot Cleaning
Less painted areas: Mist with distilled water, wipe the face of your movable jaw sex doll unidirectionally with microfiber;
Eye/ lip details with heavy makeup: Dab carefully with cotton swabs dipped in cool water/ pH-neutral cleaner.
Oil Control
Use blotting papers on T-zones (forehead/ nose) to absorb excess oils without friction.
For Body Makeup
Body cleaning covers larger areas, especially for over 170 cm sex dolls. Many owners use rough methods to save time, which damage both the sex doll’s surface and body makeup. Here’s how to clean effectively without harm.
Body Makeup Protection (Optional)
Consider dressing your love doll in silk stockings during cleaning. It reduces friction for gentler maintenance.
Dry Cleaning
For dust/ debris on sex doll’s surface: Apply cornstarch, then brush away with a soft makeup brush.
Damp Wipe
For stains that won’t come off with dry cleaning, you’ll need to do a damp wipe. Use a microfiber cloth dipped in either pH-neutral cleaner or cool water, and gently wipe in one direction only. For smaller stains, follow the same cotton swab method used for face cleaning.
Aftercare Essentials
1. Air-dry completely before storing (no towels—they smear makeup).
2. Re-powder TPE sex dolls with cornstarch to prevent stickiness.
3. Store lying flat to avoid makeup transfer.
Pro Longevity Tips
1. When not in use, always store your doll lying flat in a satin-lined case;
2. Always wash your hands thoroughly before using, especially before touching your real doll’s face;
3. Do a weekly gentle wipe-down with distilled water. For silicone sex dolls, use UV-protectant spray monthly;
4. Never use any products listed in the “Critical Don’ts” section.
When to Refresh
Proper maintenance preserves makeup for 2-3 years. For touch-ups, always consult original technicians. DIY makeup can only be used for decoration; its repair success rates are below 5%.
