I learned a handy-dandy little trick this week ! My daughter’s new American Girl doll ended up with marker or paint smudges all over her face & leg. (And of course Nobody did it or knows how it happened. Does Nobody live at your house too?) I turned to my friend Google for help & discovered that acne cream with 10% benzoyl peroxide will make marker disappear off of a doll. Just spread a liberal amount on the stain, then leave the doll in the sun or under a strong light for several hours. You may have to repeat the process a couple of times.
We decided to try a test spot on the back of her heel just in case it ruined the doll. We smeared some cream on and left her on a sunny windowsill for the afternoon. I’m happy to say it works great! Oh, and I just bought the Walmart brand acne cream. Not spending money at the American Girl beauty salon works for me!

I will have to try this on a couple of “decorated” dolls we have around here. 🙂
