Give Kelly a Makeover

If Kelly is dirty, soak her in mild dishwashing liquid and warm water for approximately 15 minutes.

Wipe Kelly with a soft, damp cloth. To clean her crevices, use a cotton swab.

For ink or grease stains, try a cotton swab soaked in rubbing alcohol. For stubborn ink stains, apply some acne cream that has a vanishing formula (Oxy10 or Clearasil). Put Kelly in the sunshine for the day, then remove the cream. You can repeat the process if necessary.

If Kelly has a tear in her head in the neck area, you can repair it with a glue designed specifically for plastic.

Any repainting of facial features, such as eye brows or lips should be done with a fine tipped brush and acrylic hobby paint.

To replace any of Kelly's limbs, put Kelly's body (not head or hair!) in boiling water for 30 seconds. This softens up the vinyl and enables you to easily take off the old limb and put on a new one.

DO NOT blow-dry Kelly's hair. The heat from the blow-dryer will damage her hair.
