Most surface dirt can be removed by a simple bath. 1. Wet your pony down with warm water. 2. Work a drop of liquid soap into your toothbrush. 3. Scrub your pony with the toothbrush until you have removed all the surface dirt, and rinse clean. However, some harder to remove dirt needs special attention. While your pony is getting a bath, you will also need to clean out the inside of the body. To do this, you will first need to remove the head. 1. Score around the head, at place where the head and body meet, with your X-Acto® knife. 2. Remove the head, and rinse inside both with warm water. 3. Dip your toothbrush in nail polish remover. 4. Scrub the inside of the head and body with the toothbrush unitl it is totally clean. You may have to dip your toothbrush in nail polish remover more than once, and don't forget the legs! You should do this about once a year for all of your ponies. By cleaning out the inside, you are preventing small blackhead type dots from appearing all over your pony's body. 1. Get a cotton ball damp with nail polish remover and scrub the stain. For places near symbols and eyes, use a cotton swab. Other marks that do not remove with nail polish remover, will often come off with toothpaste. Simply load some paste on your toothbrush, and work it into a lather on the pony. The rinse it off. Another way to remove marks is to erase them with an eraser. Some pen and ink marks that are deep set in the vinyl may not remove. Caution: there is a type of flaw that cannot be fixed. It is commonly called "The Smooze" and resembles tiny blackhead like dots. Sadly, there is no known cause or cure.
