Another doll restoration I just finished: Shadow High’s Natasha Zima

Still no before pictures but I’ll make sure to get some next time. She was in the same batch of thrift store fashion dolls as Georgia Bloom, but she was in much rougher shape.

To start with, whatever kid had owned her before had very unevenly colored the front of her hair bright pink with a dye unknown to me. I tries several different methods to remove the color, including soap, acetone, and peroxide. In the end what worked best was soaking her hair in hot water with oxi-clean for a few hours. I did three of these treatments and in the end it was mostly back to white. Not sure if it’s visible in the photos but you can still see some very faint pink irl if you’re looking for it.

The other problem with her hair was that most of the crimping had relaxed, but once the color was out, that was an easy enough fix. I washed and conditioned her hair one more time and while it was still damp I put it in several braids. When it dried I took the braids out and voila! The crimping was back good as new and I was able to put her hair back in its original style easy peasy.

Her face was in good shape, but her body was pretty dirty with a buildup of grease and dust in places that thankfully washed off easily with soap and water. I also used a fine grain nail file to sand down some of her seams and joints that had set with some excess plastic. She still had both her hands though!

My last issue was her dress which was in bad shape. Thankfully, it didn’t need to be washed, but it had a lot of broken and pulled feathers, especially at the top. I used hairspray to shape the feathers at the top, then hand-stitched them into place with teeny tiny stitches, then trimmed off the excess feathers that stuck out under the armpits. With the bottom feathers I used hairspray to make them easier to position, then trimmed them to uniform length so the pulled feathers weren’t visible.

She was a lot of work, but I think she turned out really well, considering.

Alright they got an ad patch unfortunately but it's not too big and it doesn't look too out of place so I guess it's fine

Just found out the hard way that bleach will absolutely stain your bath tub a horrifying shade of rust red to make it look like you murdered someone and dismembered them. And then tried to hid it with bleach due to the smell.

This typically happens with older porcelain tubs and if you live where the water is mineral rich.

look I know that the home I grew up in wasn't always what you could consider "clean" but I have been seeing a huge uptick in what looks a lot like contamination fears online and I think it's time we admit that the pandemic personally affected our mental health.

I hate when my clothes smell too much of detergent and not fabric softener/dry sheets :/

Scrubbed one of my plushies with a damp washcloth and she's currently air drying on my fan. She's got some stains that I Cannot Get Out so every so often I sit and really try to scrub at them

Low Moisture Cleaning Products Used to Restore Victorian Tiles in Cheadle

The owner of this property in Cheadle discovered a small Victorian tiled floor in the vestibule at the front of the house, under what they described as a “grotty grey carpet”. They couldn’t believe they had been covered over by a previous owner and were made up to find such a lovely period feature which although very dirty appeared to be complete.

I was asked if I could replace the loose grouting and renovate the tiles to bring back as much of their original character as possible. Happy to oblige, I visited the property to inspect the tiles and confirm the work needed to restore the floor. From this I provided the owners with a quote which they were happy to accept, and we arranged a time to complete the work.

Cleaning and Repairing a Victorian Tiled Hallway Floor

I started the renovation of the Victorian vestibule tiles with a deep restorative clean to remove heavy soil and old sealers. Properties of this age do not usually have a damp proof membrane and I was wary that using a lot of water on the floor may exacerbate damp issues and take much longer to dry out; with that in mind I decided to use a low moisture Gel cleaning product called Tile Doctor Oxy-Gel.

The product is applied to the tiles, the after about ten minutes it’s worked in with a mechanical buffing machine fitted with a black scrubbing pad. This process brings the dirt to the surface and turns the gel black in the process. The machine just about fitted into the space however the circular pads struggle to get into the corners so for that I then reverted to a handheld scrubbing brush and more Tile Doctor Oxy-Gel. The now soiled gel was then removed using a little water and a wet vacuum system designed to keep the mess to a minimum.

There was evidence of white efflorescence salts on some of the tiles which isn’t surprising considering the age of the property and the location of the tiles. To resolve this, I gave the tiles an acid rinse and sticking with the low moisture then I applied Tile Doctor Acid Gel. This product further cleans up the tiles and being acidic dissolves the salts and neutralises the pH level of the floor after the use of Oxy-Gel earlier. I used the same system as before, working the gel in with a pad and by hand then extracting with a wet vacuum.

Sealing a Victorian Tiled Hallway Floor

After carrying out some minor grout repairs, we left the area to fully dry overnight before returning the following day to seal with Tile Doctor X-Tra Seal. This product is fully breathable and so will allow for moisture to rise through the tile and evaporate at the surface, perfect for a floor without a damp proof membrane. Once done the floor had a nice matt finish, but the delightful colours of the original tiles now really shone through and lifted the whole entrance area.

My client was very pleased with the outcome and left the following glowing comment on the Tile Doctor feedback system.“Absolutely amazing craftsmanship. I asked for the tiles to be preserved with their characteristics rather than ‘repaired’ and he did exactly that. They somehow look brand new while still showing their story from the day they were laid. He has cleaned them up beyond expectation and protected them for hundreds of years to come!”

For aftercare I recommended the use of Tile Doctor Neutral Tile Cleaner, it’s a gentle yet effective floor cleaning product that’s safe to use on sealed tiles and will help to keep the area looking pristine in the future.
