Care guide
A clean, well-kept display mannequin catches the eye and shows off your clothes. Regular cleaning, cleaning before storage, products to avoid, drying and paint touch-ups: here is our advice on how to care for your display mannequins and extend their life.
Cleaning
Regular cleaning is essential to keep your mannequins spotless. When they are dressed, use a soft cloth to remove dust and dirt. This keeps them looking clean and neat, which attracts more customers to your store.
Use clothing changes as a chance for a deeper clean: remove any stains and check the general condition of the mannequin.
When mannequins are undressed and need cleaning or storing, wipe them gently with a sponge soaked in lukewarm water and a few drops of mild soap.
Dry them immediately after cleaning to avoid any damage. This method preserves the shine and durability of the mannequins.
Precautions
Avoid touching made-up faces when cleaning. Water and cleaning products can damage the make-up and spoil the realistic look of the mannequin.
Never use products containing silicone. It has to be completely sanded off before any new paint, which makes repairs longer and more expensive.
For stubborn stains on matt mannequins, use a microfibre cloth and rub gently, without excessive pressure.
These mannequins need special attention. Clean them with a soft sponge soaked in water and detergent. Never use sandpaper: it scratches the surface and dulls the finish.
After cleaning
After each cleaning, dry the mannequins immediately. Clean in small sections, so that each area is fully dry before moving on to the next.
This method prevents moisture build-up and extends the life of your mannequins.

For paint damage, use the repair kit supplied. Apply the paint with small brush strokes to cover the affected area.
