A few months ago, I was disappointed to find that after having had my Basic Aiko stored in her box for a while, when I took her out to play, her bow had stained her arm. I removed the offending article immediately. I was so upset, I put her back into her box and left her there for a while.
Recently, I got myself a tube of acne medication (containing 10% benzoyl peroxide) and started the bleaching process on Aiko. It took no more than a week of daily sun for about two hours - once in the morning and once in the afternoon. I had her well wrapped, with only her arm exposed and I changed the medication each time I put her out and brought her inside overnight.
This is how it started off.
This is how it ended.
Needless to say, I am very pleased and have lined up Black Magic next for stain removal.
and my Little Missmatched girls will follow:
Interesting - I have been advised that this sort of product works well on staining. However, I was told to put it on thick and leave it for 24 hours before washing it off. I wondered whether it would work so it's good to see your results. Strangely I have used butter and the sun the same way you did with the acne cream(an old trick I read somewhere) and that works too but I suspect it only works for light stains.
ReplyDeleteThanks for stopping by Carricketers. I'll try it without the sun and see how that works. I've also read that putting it under a lamp helps. I've never heard of using butter, though, so that's new to me.
