    Default Help - removing pen ink from baby doll??

    DD drew all over her favourite baby doll's head (plastic) with a ball point pen, and now is all upset that 'Baby Mary' has lines on her head. I tried wiping with water, baby wipes, and now rubbing alcohol and nothing is working. Any suggestions???

    TIA,
    Susan

    If it's ball point ink, hairspray might take it off as well!

    this is a product that Barbie collectors use to remove ink and other stains from Barbies. I would contact the company and ask whether it will work on your doll without damage though. If the ink is over the painted parts of the face, this won't work since it takes off paint too.

    I don't generally post here (no kids yet), but I thought I would pass this idea along.
