Hi,

I would blow as much dust off with a hairdryer first then brush with a soft brush - paint brush is good - I wouldnt recommend wetting the clothes or the hair the clothes are probably quite faded. You might try carefully cleaning the faces with a cotton bud very gently with just water first and maybe a little washing up liquid - nothing stronger as the paint may be very fagile. You could give the dolls hospital in Georges Street, Dublin 2 a call - they are very helpful.

I hope this is helpful,

jojodub
