A fresh, odor-free storage area is easier to maintain than fighting lingering smells after each use. Begin by cleaning the space with a mild, non-abrasive cleaner compatible with the storage materials, then thoroughly dry surfaces. If odors persist, introduce odor-absorbing strategies such as activated charcoal or baking soda in open containers placed away from the doll itself. Replace these absorbers periodically to maintain effectiveness. Ventilation is also important; keep the storage area slightly ventilated or use a discreet air circulation option to prevent stagnant air buildup.
For fabrics and wigs, gentle refreshment can help reduce odors. Allow wigs to air out in a well-ventilated area, using a breathable cover to protect against dust. When storing the doll, avoid sealing it in airtight bags for extended periods, as this can trap odors and moisture. If necessary, perform a quick, light deodorizing spray designed for the doll’s material, following product guidelines. Regular cleaning and proper airflow will help keep the storage area smelling clean and inviting.
