    Maybe Doc Mego could make little tiny 8" wash lines and cloth pins?

    I have a CIPSA Zaius whose jacket needs a clean, but I don't really know how to tackle that one. The white from his jacket could do with a wash but I'm afraid it'll destroy the fake leather part. Any ideas?

    If used dryer machine will cause fading the suits.

    I squeeze the water out then put little wet suits in the between soft cleaned towels like sandwich and press them down gentle to drained water out then put them a side, to let the suits natural air dry till next day will helps.

    I've washed them in the machine before, even the silk screen ones, like the Penguin suit. I've thrown 'em straight in with my 'whites' and various 'unmentionables', then pulled them out and set them aside to dry while everything else went into the machine dryer.
    To be honest, I found I've gotten no better result over washing them by hand.

    Seriously, this is the safest way. Just let them soak in lukewarm soapy water, rinse and repeat. You can squeeze the water out and let dry on a towel.
    Yep, I'm always do like that is safer for my figures, never used the washer machine lol.

    Use your fingers, a bowl, soap and warm water
    It's like giving yourself an enema...
