Nendoroid Sticky Experience Part 2.

From where we left off, I found out (Through testing) that Hand Soap and Detergent are effective ways of getting rid sticky surfaces of my Nendoroid.

While this might be a solution to sticky Nendoroids, and if you want to follow what I did, be cautious, as I do not claim any responsibility to what may happen to your Nendoroid (Or figurine).

Without further ado, let's carry on with my cleaning experience!

3. The Rest of Rin

Let's not think too much about this...

Before I submerge my Nendoroid parts into the pail, I always ensure the water is lukewarm, and not too much detergent is added. With this kept in mind, after 45 mins for each cleaning, the parts came out fine, and sticky-less!

Err..

I dried each part using a cotton bud, and gently dabbing them, and then set them on some tissue papers to dry.

Aww! My Nendoroid Yune's worried if Rin's going to be okay

4. The Heads

I was worried when it came to the facial expressions (Faces), because they were extremely sticky, and not to mention, they have stickers (For their eyes). I've heard rumors that submerging the stickers could cause them to peel off, and I was not going to take the risk.

Better safe than sorry!

I filled up enough lukewarm water till the water level barely touches the eyes, and left them to soak for a while. I knew this method was not going to solve the stickiness of the forehead and the back of the Faces. So I took another cotton bud, soak it in the detergent solution, and dab the faces.

She likes it!

I did the same for the back of the faces, and then left them to soak again.

After around 30 minutes. I checked them out. Sadly, the stickiness did not disappear off the front, neither the back of the faces. I used my fingers and cotton buds and gently rub them, so as to not damage any paint-work. 

Rub Rub Rub

After all the rubbing, I ran them under tap water and checked if the stickiness persisted. After a few more rubbings with detergent solution, the stickiness was minimal. As for her "Smiling" face, the stickiness was gone! I dried the Faces off with light dabs of soft tissues (I never dared to rub them), and left them along with the rest of the parts, to dry off any remaining wet areas.

Kira Kira!

5. End Results

Damn, you look so fine and yummy!

After a few hours of drying, she's sticky-free.. Well, almost! Her other faces are still a little sticky, but given enough time (I've got school work to do), I'm pretty sure she could be as good as new! :3

I hope you all find this post a little helpful. I would love to know more, since, after all, this was actually my first time cleaning up a Nendoroid

Cheers!
