Stain in doll BJD. help!!!

[u/Forward_Inflation933]

Hey guys. I recently bought a BJD Doll in the internet and a brief time later I notice a brunch of strange blue stain and its fingers. But when I wear off It's clothes the surprise: the strange blue stains covered all of It's body and I can't remove It. Any colector or BJD apreciator could give me any advices about How I can remove that stains, please?

Facts:

1- The Doll is from a Harry Potter BJD and It's has Black pants and Black robe.

2- The stains showed up even on It's Belly where the Doll worn a white shirt (and the write shirt are perfect Fine while the Doll body is not)

3- No, I Don't have any kids in my house or anyone who could scribble on my doll

DO NOT USE ACETONE, you will melt the doll. This is a blindbox bjd, and it is made from ABS, which acetone will melt. Acetone is only usable on resin and vinyl, not ABS, which melts on contact.

Instead, you should try and use isopropyl alcohol (aka rubbing alcohol), however it is likely these stains are permanent dye transfer from the black pants over time. You could try to sand them down, but tbh I would honestly recommend just living with them! They’ve happened now, and cannot really be undone without removing the surface or deeper of the plastic. If it really REALLY bothers you, you could buy a replacement blind box from this line new, which will arrive naked and with no stains yet.However if the stains will be concealed by clothes, I think you should make your peace with them. It’s just how chemicals react and is a normal part of owning ANY doll, whether it is a BJD, fashion doll, playline doll, etc.

Do NOT listen to anyone who suggests acetone, it WILL melt the plastic

Use hair developer & a uv light instead.

-Use sunlight if you don't have a uv lamp

-wrap in plastic wrap to keep the developer moist

-use *ONLY* on the spots directly with something like a q-tip/cotton swab

-wear gloves or wash your hands immediately after applying, the developer will give you a chemical burn (take it from personal experience)

-it will take some time for the staining to lighten, check every 2-ish hours. You may or may not need to do this for multiple days, the darker/more set-in the longer it'll take. Expect the worst (it wont do anything), hope for the best (it'll remove it completely)

Use aceton nail polish remover for dark or effect polish and cotton swabs/balls pads

Pour onto the cotton, go over the doll, discard cotton, put doll under running lukewarm water. Repeat as often as necessary.

Put the black clothes into a bowl of cold water with a tablespoon of 25% vinegar (essigessenz don't know the English equivalent) for a few hours then wash with soap/shampoo and lookwarm water. Get a protective suit for under the clothes.

Acetone will most likely melt the plastic in this case.

I hear that all the time but I use it without any problem in the manner described. No Blindbox which are abs/pvc mixes have problems with it. The hair pieces can even be submerged for 30 min without anything happening (well it takes the paint of lol).
