    Costume cleaning

    I figured this would be the best place to ask this, I have a Riddler and Green Arrow than need they're costumes cleaned. I'm curious if there's a "preffered method" of cleaning that's will work and is not to harsh on the material...especially the felt cuffs on Green Arrows costume. Thought about using Woolite and soaking them like delicates but I'm not sure.
    Any advice would be welcome.
    Thanks!!!

    I've heard that 'Woolite' is good. I use Oxyclean in a hand wash. An old toothbrush scrubbing for the stained areas has worked wonders for me. Allow to air dry so that you can make sure your cleaning is complete. Once you are happy with the cleaning, you can use water and a hair dryer to shrink it from any stretching it may have received over the years. I've found that Hot air drying the bodysuit free of the doll body works best. Upon redressing, the suits stretch to fit quite well.
