Help! my daughter has scribbled in biro all over her new baby annabel's head. Does anyone know how to remove it The biro!) before my mother sees it? (she bought the doll for and i think will be rather upset about it)

I would be interested to know the answer to this one too! DT1 scribbled all over DT2's baby annabell and I tried everything to get it off, without success. She cried herself to sleep .

Haven't got much further with cleaning off biro. I phoned zapf creations who make baby annabel and they gave me a number for a doll's hospital. They said it would be near enough impossible to remove (although you could try spot cream - oxy 10 or clearasil!) the alternative is to send them the doll and they will put a new head on for £8.50 and send it back £4.50 postage. Might be worth a go!

some ideas here

JackieNoHoHo · 03/12/2006 17:15

Some suggestions if you google are milk or hairspray. Would try on an inconspicuous area first, if possible.

i regularly use (human) cleanser and baby wipes to clean plastic dolls!

Baby born got biro off her when scrubbed with an old toothbrush in an Oilatum bath.

Sorry for bringing this thread up just noticed it as I was scrolling to get to the bottom of the screen.
Anyway DD did this to her Baby annabel and we tried everything including nail polish remover, bleach, graffiti remover and baby wipes. Nothing worked so just left it and it actually disappeared no idea why or what happened but the marks have gone.
I started a thread asking the same thing a few months ago when she did it and I'm sure someone else said that the same had happened to their doll.

How to wash baby Annabelle dolls

DancingToMyTune · 20/08/2023 20:14

Try an ink eraser.... the rubber things made especially for ink. Weird tip: lick the tip of the eraser before rubbing off the pen mark. Normally works on most ballpoint pen marks

Just come across this thread trying to find a solution to some marks on baby Annabell.

Thought I would share for anyone else in this situation that I have used pink stuff on it and it’s removed all the marks! It wasn’t biro but were dark marks that wouldn’t come off with standard cleaning products.
