A short recap:
I had decided to soak all the parts in a mild Detergent solution, before using a Cotton Bud to rub off the dirt with Hand Wash gel.
After leaving them to dry, I returned back to cleaning..
And now, the Faces!
I started off with the ( *゜д゜) face, from Nendoroid Kurisu Makise!
D-don't look at me like that!
Cute overall, but really dirty. I used a clean Cotton Bud and rubbed the dusty areas to removed any easily removable dust from her Face, then soak another Cotton Bud in the Detergent Solution and rubbed her Face gently.
After that, I used the Hand Wash gel to clean her sides, and only on spots with dirt. I try my best to avoid areas which contain prints (Like her eyes) and paint (Like her mouth).
Must.. avoid.. glare..
End Results? Beautiful!
That's not a face of gratitude!
That.. face..
Well, from the front, it's just a speck of dust across her face (Which looks like a Mustache), but the worst has yet to come...
AHHH!
Yes! Those yellow bits are some terrible, terrible stains (The camera is really forgiving). Makes me wonder how my friend managed to achieve such stains sometimes.
Rub-rub-rub
Anyways, I did the similar steps as with the previous Face, and although it took longer than before, due to the heavy amount of dirt on the sides, things went off without a hitch!
Success!
Finally, I left everyone out to dry...
And Kagami's on Guard Duty!
That's all! The entire cleaning experience took me roughly 2 hours, including preparation. I hope you all found this post (And my previous post on Stickiness) a little helpful! If there's any questions, feel free to leave a comment! Even though this may be a 1.. or rather, 2-posts Blog, I do check back once a while!
Take care everyone, and remember to take good care of your Nendoroids as well!
Cheers!

Oh... Thanks, my Nendoroids were getting kinda Dirty, and i didn't want to see my Nadeko with dirt on her face... This has been really useful
ReplyDeleteI have a quick question. I'm fairly new to Nendoroids and I bought a Wind Waker Zelda Nendo and when I opened her, she had a yellow discoloration/stain on her arms and dress. Can I use this process to clean her arms or do I need to do something else?
