Biro on dolls legs!!

[Boardiegirl]

I have bought preloved 2 Smoby dolls for my sisters twins for Christmas,( amongst other things, please dont judge!).
The clothes and hair are perfect but when i undressed them there are a few, old, sunk in biro marks on the legs :(

Ive tried Flash with bleach on a scouring pad but its not working
Anyone recommend anything please??

hair spray and scrub or baby wipes.

Baby wipes? Work for most things worryingly. Or nail polish remover/turps

Hope you can get it off

oh and why would anyone judge you?

i have bought my dd a 1970's fisherprice garage for her bday in december!

you can get lovely stuff secondhand.

Thanks all and yes 5mad you can and I do
I will try those ideas tomorrow as its nearly xfactor time!

Hairspray takes it out of leather sofas (from experience!) so prob will work.

Apparently spraying deodorant on biro and rubbing with a cloth works. Have not tried this myself but she swears by it. And she's full of 'top tips'

Forgot to say, 'she' is my friend!

Neat bio washing liquid gets marker and food colouring off skin, would prob get biro off dolls :o

Cif?

Or try a tiny amount of,WD40 on a cotton wool bud?

Thanks all
Troed these; the best was nail polish remover but still didnt remove it all. Seems if its soaked in nothing shifts it!

Unless someone knows better....??

White spirit? It removes permanent markers from whiteboards.

Contact the pen manufacturer for advice?

Wd40

Jif or buy a stain devil for 'biro' & rub that on.

Thanks i will try these and report back!

The pen marks may have been there for many years, getting rid completely may be a big challenge.

Is the doll one which you can soak completely? If so, stick it in a washing up bowl filled with Milton, leave it over night. Dry it. Then try the nail varnish remover again. Never know a bit more may come off.

The dolls have clothes, just put those on the dolls... Pretend not to notice the marks, the children may not care about the marks.

Any luck yet, OP?
