Despite my best efforts to keep my doll clean, her clothing left a stain on her arm, hips, and part of her back. I have seen the expensive little white pots of stain remover. Is there another way to remove stains from the dolls without the expensive creams? I have seen a video where an odorless paint thinner is used to remove permanent marker. Is this legitimate or are all of the paint thinners and removers too dangerous to use on TPE?

Thanks for the tip! I was already heading to Walmart today anyway. I'll have to look into it. I figured anything with peroxide in it might work because women used to use that to bleach their hair blonde. I'll have to look for a tube of this.
@mbeers This inexpensive, Acne Removal Cream, with 10% Benzoyl Peroxide, works great at removing Stains from TPE. It only costs about $5.00, at Walmart. It’s what is in those little white pots…
Just slather it over the stained area, and leave it on overnight. Usually, the Stain will be gone. A Deep or Dark Stain may require more than One “ Treatment.” Once the Stain is gone, just wash off the residue with warm Soapy Water, then dry the area and dust with Talcum Powder, to restore the TPE to feeling natural.
