Removing and Replacing a Cabbage Patch Kids Head
I can remember 30 years ago my mother taking my beloved CBK, Marcel out of the washing machine and it being covered in pox. I was devastated! I never let her wash another doll after that. Possibly a reaction to certain chemicals.
Wow, that's crazy. But yeah, some develop that quickly. Others can take years to really show up.
White board cleaner works on ink well
Very good point. Have you tried it to see what it does to the vinyl?
@@Brekkeb seems to be okay, ue a light touch
Will it hurt their face putting them in the washing machine to do that
No. If you put them in a pillowcase it buffers against rubbing. Also, you're only putting them in for the spin cycle. This means that they're only pressed back by centrifugal forces, not bashed about like they would be in a dryer or even a washing cycle. For those who do put them in for a full cycle, they will put them in with a bunch of towels to act as a buffer.
It's kinda makes ya wonder if they walk and play theirselfs
Oh I have no doubt they do! Some of those grins are too mischevious to not get up to hijinks when nobody is home!
Thank you🎉🎉🎉🎉❤
My ex cut my dollas head off i gad her since birth i need help fixing what materal can i use
That depnds a lot on how it as cut off. I'd need to know more or see a picture. Go to the blog site in the description and message me there. That way I will get your email.
Thanks for all the ways of cleaning up my kid😊 she needs all the special treatment that you showed 👌 👍 😉 😀 I found a cabbage patch kid 2 days ago at a thrift store. She's beautiful. And I was very happy to find her. She came with a whole bag of clothing also. Which have the name cabbage patch on it ❤🎉 Yay!! I'm glad I found your tutorial how to care for her. Peace ✌️
I'm so glad it might help you. Good luck cleaning your new kid!
Thank you!
Hello do you service customers who would like to have their doll cleaned?
I have yes. Please visit the website in the description and message me to discuss restoration services.
I hand wash mine I don’t want his vanilla scent gone
It shouldn't cause too much change if you do a gentle handwash. The scent was in the head vinyl.
@@Brekkeb oh ya I thought just on cheeks. Its his hair needs a wash he hates it so I will buy him vanilla scented soap
Mine hate bath time they cry
Oh, that's not fun! Most kids love a bubble bath!
@@Brekkeb he says being naked is embarrassing cause he is an older doll
@@ravenbaa7989 I can empathize.
Proof of your mixing theory may be in my old cabbage patch doll whose whole arm turned a purple color with the exception of the fingers.
I have a couple questions. My daughter's Kid says the tag Caleco 1979/82 but there is no signature on her rump. I did but her new with the box in 1988. Did I get a fake? Also how do you wash the Cornsilk hair?
You may have got a factory fluke. I've seen the fabric used inside out so the signature is inside the kid. :) I"d need to see a picture to really tell. As for cornsilk hair, there's a variety of options. If you really want to clean it, you can use regular shampoo and conditioner. If you just want to brush it I recommend a child's hair detangler that you spray on. Other's use fabric softener. A steamer will smooth the hair and get rid of the frizzes.
@@Brekkeb Oh wow ok, how cool would that be to have a fluke! I haven't checked to see if you have an email but if you do I can send a pic tomorrow morning. Thanks for the answers and I will be working on her soon 😃
@@toryberch If you go to the site in description, you can message me there and then we can send pictures. Or you can search for the Clothes Closet on FB and send a message that way. :)
@@Brekkeb Oh ok cool 😃 I will send some pics in the morning
I'm sorry I don't see any description on your channel. I went to your about me page and nothing there. I don't do FB so will wait for you to guide me through this. I have a brain disorder and am a bit slow in thinking but I'll do my best 😉
Excellent video, thank you. I was wondering if you have any advice on washing the cabbage patch dolls where the clothes are attached and cannot be removed please?
If it's the kids I think of, the same process should work. Those kids tended to be designed for smaller children and they're also likely machine washable. I'd need a picture of the doll to know exactly.
@Brekkeb Hi, thank you for your reply. I am not sure how to add a photo to this message 🤔. I have 4 like this. One has beans in its but, one has an inbuilt bell, one has a bib that makes a crinkle sound when you move it
@@sallysmith9017 I'm pretty sure I recognize all those dolls and they can be cleaned in this manner. Hand wash with the detergent and then spin dry and they'll be just fine. Having said that, I havent' washed the crinkly bib kid yet so not sure how it'll react. Likely it won't be an issue, but it might not 'crinkle' sa loundly after washing. Not sure.
Been looking for a video on this for years, thx so much!
How do you clean face rubs? I recently got my 2 Cabbage patch kids back from a friend who I gave them to 20 years ago.. Missing shoes and hair messy no stains but a face bump rub? Is that fixable?
I don't tend to worry about them, honestly. However, when I do want to get rid of them I generally use a nail buffer. Just enough rough to remove it but not damage the vinyl. I have a four sided one and i finish with the buff side. :) Gives it a nice shine.
That's definitely one way of doing it! 👍 I would have never thought to do it that way. Thanks for sharing.
I'm sure yours looks much better though! I wish i could sew like you do. Truly amazing.
you helped me fix my cabbage patch that I have had for the last 36 years of my life, it is so nice to see her hands and legs fully restored, thank you!
I'm so glad your friend is back to their best self! Congrats. :) I'm glad I could help.
@@Brekkeb you sue did actually you helped me with more than one doll wish they had a way to show photos to show how your channels helping people 🤗
@@fastwigreviewwithlisabee8598 I'd love to see your kids! You can also find me at Pam Mala on FB or you can email through my blog site at hilaryscpkclothescloset.com/
@@Brekkeb sure when I get home I'll send a couple pics over
Do you have any more ideas on dark stains all over in the actual layers of the vinyl like the first doll you showed? this is my second time getting a doll with them I want to try and save them. I did the cleaning tried bleach tried everything including fading cream for acne. I am out of ideas thank you!
YOu may have to treat the pox more than once. Also, make sure you're using the right kind of light bulb and that the heat is close enough to the head (but not too close, you don't want to sorch it). If that doesn't help, I'm afraid I'm out of ideas. I know some people have managed to clean whole heads but that was after months of treatment and I've just honestly not gone that far. I just let the kids live their best lives the way they are.
Thanks so much
That's a great idea! Thank you for sharing.
Thank you! Honestly, wasn't my idea to start with, I just found it worked for me. I'm glad you liked it.
Excellent video, very well explained. thank you 😍😍😍😍😍
Glad it was helpful! Good luck with future baths. :)
Hi! I just washed one. Not sure what to do with hair. I used dish soap. She’s hanging to dry. Wondering what I can do to hair before I trim fuzzies.
I wash the entire doll in woolite as that helps the yarn hair repair a bit. Or you can pre-soak in Oxiclean. This works really well for the lemon haired kids. Cornsilk are a whole different ball game. :) Once clean, then it's time to defuzz! Let me know if I can help in any other way.
This was in my recommendations and I just had to click on it. Nostalgia 😊🤩. Love the TLC you put into the dolls. So cute.🥰
I'm gald you enjoyed it. I love how well the doll's clean up! Some may be 40 years old, but they still have lots of life left in them!
@@Brekkeb 😊😊😊
What is vital restore?
Vinyl restore?
@@BEAUTYSUBSCRIPTIONSMORE It's a vinyl treatment that helps clean it and come back to the original colour/shine. You can find it in the automotive section at your local Canadian Tire store. I use McGuires.
Is there any particular reason you did not tell us what cleaning solutions you had in the bath? That, you know, what have been nice.
I wash the kids in Woolite, as noted at :52. I've also listed the other things that you might possibly need. Good luck with your baths.
I loved this video 😍😍
Thank you.
Do you have one for arms hands and belly button?
Not yet, but I'll try and remember the next time I do one! I keep forgetting.
So helpful!
Thank you. Glad it was of assistance.
Thank u for the video very helpful
Have you ever encountered a Madame Alexander vinyl doll with pox?
Sorry Elizabeth, I've never actually encountered a Madam Alexander doll period. :( However, I would think that anything made with vinyl would have a possibility of some kind of pox. They might present differently maybe.
Do you wash the cabbage patch kids with beans in the butt the same way?
Yes, you do. :) The bean bags aren't affected.
Thank you!!!! Merry Christmas
@@noeleasley3706 You're welcome. Merry Christmas to you too!
Thank you for making this video, it's very informative and I appreciate it very much!
Thank you. I'm glad it was of use to you.
Can you speak to raised BUMPS on a cabbage patch face? Their discoloring is resolving with benzol peroxide cream, but they are physical bumps. Google searching isn't returning any valid results. Thanks!
In some, that's part of the pox manifistation. I havent' seen it often and I don't believe the treatment causes the bumps to go away. Sorry. :( I shoudl update with that. I missed it.
@@Brekkeb Thank you for your quick reply! Let me know if you'd like some pictures to use for demonstration purposes. My recent thrift store find definitely has a good handful of raised bumps.
@@kristikemper8825 I'm not sure I've go tthe skill to capture the bumps themselves but I will look into adding a bit into the video talking about it. I'll add it to the to-do list. :) Thank you!
@@Brekkeb I meant I can send you pictures of my doll with these bumps, if it's helpful to include in your videos ;)
@@kristikemper8825 Oops! Sure, it can't hurt to try. That would be great, thank you.
My whole life I've felt like no one on the planet understands me or is like me. Then I saw this video and it has made me so happy. THIS is how my brain works. Thank you.
I think I’ve got the worst case of pox in the whole tire cabbage patch history it is so bad but I don’t wanna chuck it away. I was going to chuck it away because I thought it was mould but thanks for telling me this and I will try to fix it but if I’m being honest I don’t know if I can save it now I think I’ve got 1000 pox on my one
I'm glad you found this helpful. For kids such as you're describing people have done full head cover zit treatments, but it typically takes quite a few and will lighten the overall skin tone of the doll's head. Other's have taken to painting them. I've not done this myself so I can't give any details, but that's also a possibility.
That Sunlight bar costs $14 on Amazon. You sound Canadian maybe it's cheap there but here in the USA it's not in stores, and it costs a lot.
I'm very sorry to hear that. I honestly couldn't tell you where the soap is or isn't sold, especially now. If you have something you trust that works similarly, test it and see how it goes.
Magic erasers work pretty great and are pretty easy to find in the US
I’m in a pickle! I used the zit cream on my cabbie but forgot the Saran Wrap. So the cream dried out. His face looks good except now you see where I went around his eye. Totally different color. Any suggestions? 😞
Hi Cadence, don't worry about the saran wrap, it doesn't really do anything. I've never used it. It's the heat that matters, not how wet the cream is. You said you used the cream around the eyes? Is that the only spot? What was it you were trying to remove?
@@Brekkeb thank you for responding! ❤️ It left a discolored space around his eyes where the cream wasn’t applied. Trying to decide if it is safe to apply the cream as close as I can to offset the obvious color difference.
@@candacedecker1043 I like to help. So yeah, I would apply it around the eyes then. Do so with a toothpick and stay as much off the eye paint as possible. Zit cream can cause discolouration ot the actual vinyal so you want it to be even. Make sure to use the same cream and try to make sure it's on for the same amount of time in the same heat conditions. Otherwise you may over or under bleach the area. I hope this helps!
@@Brekkeb thank you it does. Needed some extra consulting to make sure I was doing the right thing. Really appreciate this!
@@candacedecker1043 No problem. You can find my email at the website in the description if you feel you need some significant assistance. I'm happy to help.
Hola, espero y agradecería de corazón me respondieras. Tengo dos niños cabagge sin embargo el vinilo de sus rostros se está poniendo oscuro, manchas oscuras, uno de ellos está peor en todas sus mejillas y nariz, el otro es solo en su nariz y orejas. He probado limpiarlos con varios tipos de jabón sin embargo no me ha dado resultado ¿que más puedo hacer?
Hola carolina, Voy a asumir que tienes algo de inglés, ya que estás leyendo mi blog. Tus hijos tienen algo llamado "Pox". Es realmente la decoloración del vinilo. No puedes simplemente limpiarlo. Has comentado el vídeo de la viruela. ¿Has mirado el de tratarlo? si no, mira el video titulado "Zit Cream Treatment". Debería ayudar. Si necesita instrucciones en español, hágamelo saber y usaré el traductor de Google nuevamente. Tuya, pam

Where can I buy sunlight soap?
I've found it available in a number of laundry aisles and online at places like Walmart recently.
I also don’t think it’s mold because I would most likely have an asthma attack when near a pox baby lol. I was gifted a BBB for Christmas last year by my aunt. he’s from the SS factory and has the circles with the smaller dots inside in random spots on his head. They’re pretty light in color. I love him a lot despite the pox :) I wish there was more concrete information on the pox because it can be really confusing. This video did help ease my worries of it being harmful though.
Yes, I have a few kids with pox and love them very much. Sometimes it just doesn't matter. Your comment about asthma is very interesting and another good point against the mold argument! Thank you for making it.
Where do you get sunlight soap?
That's a very good question! I haven't had to buy it in years, the bar lasts forever. When I did, I bought it at a littte small-town hardware store that sells everything under the sun. It was hard to find now you mention it. A quick search had it coming up at Walmart and Home Hardware here in Canada. Not sure about the US or other locations though. If you have something similar in your area, feel free to give that a try too! Just do spot tests first to make sure it doesn't damage things.
Thank you, very helpful vid. ❤️
Have you ever washed a Hasbro first addition posable kid? Those have built in wires how would you wash a kid like that?
I have. I did the exact same thing but made sure she was very dry, very quick. I waited until it was really warm outside and I could use sunshine to dry her off quickly. She seems to be fine. It's been about 2 years since I washed her. Having said that, I haven't taken her apart to see what the metal rods look like either!
I use a cuticle cutter to cut the zip tie.
Cool . . . I have no idea what that is! I'll have to google it. :)
What is the pox called that you called Spot? It was on the second dolls head that you showed in this video? This is the kind the kid I just bought has. Do you know how to treat that particular kind?
It's just a varient of the regular pox. It would reqiure the same treatment with the zit cream. However, as with any kid, test the treatment on a small out of the spot way first to see how the vinyl on that particular kid going to react to it first. Also, keep in mind it doesn't always work. Sometimes it works amazingly well, other times it doesn't touch it. Each kid and vinyl mixture seems to react a little differently.
Just started my collection 🤗I’m currently a reborn doll artist, but my first love of dolls were cabbage patch kids…thanks for the awesome tips!!!
I'm glad they were helpful! Good luck with the collecting.
Does anyone know if kids can “catch” pox from one another? If it’s vinyl degradation then no, but if it is a microorganism then it may be possible right? Anyone have dolls that have “caught” it?
I've never had one 'catch' pox from another doll. Dolls stored together under the same conditions can be seen to develop them together, but that's because the conditions are right for the environment to accelerate the vinyl degredation. However, I don't believe pox is a microrganism either so I'm biased. You need to decide what you believe. :) Maybe others will help you by answering.
Just adopted some cute kids one is missing her toes gotta find the right thread 🧵 tho
Take her to the craft store and find the closest matching embroidery thread. If you're doing a specific kid, that will be the easiest way to do it.
