I made my first purchase last February and the experience wasn't great. Had trouble getting "comfortable" with her (Anna 135). Long story short, I determined she was a bit too small so she got put back into the box after about four months. Fast forward to this weekend, I finally have enough for a larger doll, but did I really want one? I decided to bring Ashley back out for another try. Fairly certain I cleaned her meticulously, but found patches of [mold??] on her skin that couldn't be wiped off. Checked her orifices and the wipes came out yellow at first and black as I got deeper. Took a look inside... clean for the first few inches and then gradually turned black. ugh...
So, should I be cleaning them periodically even when not in use? Or was I just not cleaning good enough to begin with?
The head's still fine, but it was never boxed up. Unfortunately, I think the body is just a waste of space at this point. Suggestions for disposal?
