In daily cleaning of mannequins, use soft brush or electrostatic duster to gently sweep away dust every week, avoid using wet cloth to wipe directly (especially for lacquered mannequins). When encountering oily stains, use a cotton swab dipped in a small amount of alcohol (concentration <70%) to gently wipe, and immediately use a dry cloth to absorb the dryness.
For the maintenance of the joints of mannequins, if they are metal joints, put 1-2 drops of lubricant (such as WD-40) every quarter to prevent rusting and jamming. For plastic joints, use petroleum jelly on the joints to reduce friction loss. Place a silica gel desiccant inside the model base during the rainy season. Prolonged exposure to sunlight will cause the PVC material to turn yellow, it is recommended to use UV filter film to stick the window.
When placing dummy mannequins in the shop, avoid close to areas with drastic temperature fluctuations such as heaters and air conditioning vents, and prohibit hanging overweight accessories on the mannequins (more than 2kg may lead to limb deformation). In addition, for mannequins made of different materials, the methods of maintenance will be different. Fibreglass mannequins are repaired with car polishing wax when scratches occur. Silicone simulation mannequins are coated with medical grade silicone oil once a month to prevent drying and cracking. Recyclable paper mannequins are then kept away from water sources and anti-mould sprayed once a season. But anyway, you want to use this dummy mannequin for a long time, you can try to separate the head and limbs, wrap it with bubble wrap and place it upright, use cotton anti-static cover, never use plastic bag (easy to smother water vapour), and check it once every 3 months for insects or mould spots. After long-term use, the limb will be more or less loose, with epoxy resin glue (not 502 glue!) Reinforce the joints on it. If the bottom is unstable, paste a non-slip silicone pad on the base.
Now you know how to maintain female mannequin full body, adjustable female mannequin, sitting female mannequin and so on these mannequins.
