Taking Care of Your Collections

[Playful Heart]

How often do you dust/clean your ponies? And what do you use?

Mine are on shelves in my closet. They get their hair washed once they come into the house and I clean off whatever dirt they came with (soapy water). After that, they never get cleaned.

Same here. Mine get cleaned once or twice when they arrive and once they're to my liking, they go on my shelf. Unfortunatly the paint we painted my shelf with is sticky or something so they stick. So every now and then I'll go unstick them. Its good for ponies who dont like to stand up on their own like my Truly and my MGR Sparkler though Doesn't seem to hurt them, but it IS annoying

I am in the process of going through my collection and washing ALL my ponies. It's taking like a month! By the time I finish I'm going to have to start over!

I dust mine once a week. I wipe them down with a wet cloth and brush the hair out then back onto the shelf.

The usually get a wash and condition when they first arrive but only wipe downs after that.

I wipe them off with a baby wipe, or sometimes glass cleaner on a paper towel. But, I don't do this often at all. The best way to keep the dust off is to pick them up and touch them...you know, play with them once in a while But it's hard with 400 ponies

All new ponies will be cleaned and washed, when they arrived. After that they don´t need an other cleaning, because I´m displaying all ponies behind glass.

They all get a bath when I get them, and then I put them in my ponyroom.
The ones I don´t have in glass cabinets gets dusted every now and then, the others only about once a year.
