Dye migration happens when dark fabric transfers colour onto the doll's skin, and it never reverses once it's took place. You can't remove a stain that's been absorbed into TPE, whatever cleaning item, approach or scrubbing you throw at it. Your only defence is preventing it, and that starts with a straightforward, free test that takes two minutes. It's Chemistry: Why Dye Migrates Behind it all sits some straightforward chemistry. The dye gets drawn into oil-based TPE because dark dyes are ordinarily oil-soluble, rather like water soaking into a sponge as it migrates from the fabric. Contact starts it straight away, and heat and pressure make it quicker; a few hours in a dark dress in a warm room is enough to cause a permanent stain. You can't miss dark marks on a pale doll, which makes it especially noticeable there, but every skin tone gets it to some degree. Wet a Small Piece of Fabric First Simplicity is the point of the test itself. A small piece of the fabric will do, ideally from an inside seam where it won't be seen; wet it fully with clean water. About thirty seconds of firm rubbing is all it takes; press the wet fabric against a white cloth, a cotton bud, or kitchen paper. Should any colour transfer to the white cloth, the fabric will stain your doll and shouldn't go on her. Use it without worry when the white cloth stays clean; that fabric is safe. Pass the Water Test and You're Safe Why water? It simulates the moisture that's naturally present on the doll's skin, which is what activates the dye transfer. If dry fabric on dry skin transfers less dye than wet fabric on damp skin, then testing with water gives you the worst case, and that's precisely what you want. Safe for ordinary use is any fabric that passes the water test. Failing means staining, and you can't get around it. Repeat the Test Every Time A brand you've used before doesn't get you out of it; the test is repeated for every new piece of clothing. Manufacturing processes change. Dye batches vary. A fabric that was safe last year might not be safe this year. Permanent dark marks on her thighs are the alternative to a doll that looks decent for years, and the test that decides it takes two minutes. You've got no excuse for skipping it, and those who learn the hard way are the buyers who end up acquiring replacement dolls. Why Bright Neons Use So Much Pigment An a little waxy or coated feel, a dark colour or a cheap dye each makes a fabric more likely to fail the test. These four are the worst offenders: black, dark red, dark blue and dark purple, thanks to concentrated, oil-soluble dyes. Bright neon colours are a risk as well, thanks to the large quantities of pigment they use. Pricey clothing is frequently safer than cheap clothing, though not guaranteed, because cheaply dyed fabric is more likely to bleed than properly dyed fabric. Fabrics That Are Safest Safest of all are light colours, natural fibres, and anything pre-washed. These pale shades, white, cream, beige and pastels, are virtually consistently safe, there not being enough pigment to cause noticeable staining. Holding dye more firmly than synthetics, as cotton, linen and other natural fibres tend to, makes them less likely to bleed. Fabric that's been pre-washed isn't carrying as much excess dye, having already released most of it, and so is less likely to transfer onto the doll. Doubtful about a piece? Pre-wash it before putting it on the doll. Some Fabrics Bleed No Matter What Hold off giving up on a fabric that fails the test, because there are a few things you can attempt. It can help to set the dye and lessen bleeding if you wash the fabric a number of times, in hot water with a small quantity of white vinegar. Salt acts as a mordant that binds the dye to the fibres; that's why soaking the fabric in a saltwater solution overnight can also help. Success isn't certain: these techniques don't consistently work and some fabrics bleed regardless, though they're worth a shot for a specific piece of clothing you truly want to use. A New Doll Costs Far More Than New Clothes If it's still failing after washing, don't use it, which is the safest option. A stain on a doll is permanent, and the cost of a new doll is far higher than the cost of replacing a piece of clothing.If you're attached to the fabric and want to use it in any case, there are a few mitigation strategies. Line the inside of the clothing with a light-coloured fabric, which creates a barrier between the dark dye and the doll's skin. On the other hand, short spans only, and remove the clothing straight away after use. Neither of them is foolproof, although they do lessen the risk. High Street Clothing Is a Gamble Seek out sellers who grasp dye migration and have tested their fabrics when you're buying clothing for a doll; it's the safest approach. Their clothing is more costly but also more reliable because doll-specific clothing brands are normally aware of the issue and pick their fabrics accordingly. A gamble is what you're taking with generic clothing from high street shops, and the cheaper it is the higher the risk. When acquiring generic clothing, test it before use, every time. Summer Changes the Rules It's also worth knowing there's a seasonal factor. Dye migration gets worse when the weather is warm, heat being what accelerates the process. Passing in winter proves little, since the same fabric might fail in summer, particularly if the doll is stored in a warm room. When acquiring new clothing in summer, be more thorough with the test, and consider a number of washes before use. The same goes for a doll stored in a warm room, where the heat will cause any residual dye to migrate faster. Diffuse, Not Sharp Knowing what the stain looks like, if it happens, is worthwhile. Dye migration stains tend to be diffuse and not sharp, because the dye goes through the material instead of staying on the surface. Rather than imprinting a clear outline of the fabric, they show as a general darkening or discolouration of the zone. Spotting it early is harder; over time it becomes more apparent as the stain spreads and deepens. Removal is off the table once it's set; only covering it with clothing or accepting it as part of the doll's history remain. Use a Fresh Section of Cloth Each Time Testing technique matters every bit as much as the test. The thirty seconds is there for slow bleeders, because a quick rub can miss a slow bleed. Gentle won't do. The fabric will be pressed against the doll's skin with genuine pressure, so rub firmly, as though you're trying to remove a stain. Every test gets a clean patch of the white cloth, as a patch already stained by an earlier test gives a false result. Fabric goes in wet, not dry, because it's water that activates the dye transfer. Light Sections Can Pass While Dark Ones Fail Testing a fabric with multiple colours? Start with the darkest section. Failing on the dark sections is possible even if a fabric passes on the light ones, and the dark sections are what will stain the doll. Any doubt? Test each colour on its own. And take particular care when a dark pattern sits on a light background, as the dark parts are the ones that bleed. An Hour, or Days, or Weeks Staining takes place after some length of contact between fabric and doll, so how long is that? Gigantic variation is the honest answer, shaped by the fabric, the temperature and the pressure. Certain fabrics will stain within an hour, with others taking days or weeks. Safest is a simple rule: failed the test means it will stain eventually, so stay away from it completely. Don't look for a safe exposure time with a fabric that bleeds; the bleed is cumulative and irreversible. Checking a Used Doll for Dye Stains Used dolls need a check for dye migration before purchase. Staining is most typical on the thighs, back and buttocks, so look there for dark patches. A soiled doll is worth less than an unstained one, since the stains are permanent and impact her appearance. Used with stains? Don't pay full price, and remember to factor in what covering them would cost, whether that's clothing or a new body. One Test, Every Time The single most major maintenance habit any doll owner can develop is the wet-white-cloth test. Costing nothing and taking two minutes, it heads off the most widespread cause of permanent damage. In a hurry? Test in any case. Every new piece of clothing, as part of your routine. Those five minutes you save by skipping the test could cost you a doll. More info at this rosslink. Also check out this hyperlink as well as check here and go to this site for more.
