The Wet-White-Cloth Fabric Test: How To Avoid Dye Migration
This comes first among everything a new doll owner could be told, and it's also what gets ignored most often. What's dye migration? Dark fabric transferring colour onto the doll's skin, and it's permanent as soon as it takes place. Attempt every cleaning goods and method going and scrub all day; a stain that's been absorbed into TPE won't come out. Defence comes down to prevention alone, beginning with an uncomplicated test that's free and takes two minutes.

TPE Is Oil-Based, Dark Dyes Are Oil-Soluble
Blame chemistry for this one. Like water soaking into a sponge, dye migrates from the fabric into the TPE, because TPE is an oil-based material and dark dyes are ordinarily oil-soluble. A few hours in a warm room in a dark dress is enough to cause a permanent stain, because the process starts right away on contact and accelerates with heat and pressure. Dark marks on pale dolls are impossible to miss, which is why it's particularly visible on them, though it takes place on every skin tone to some degree.

If the Cloth Stays Clean, You're Safe
There's nothing complex about the test itself. Snip a small piece of the fabric from somewhere it won't be seen; an inside seam is ideal. Wet it fully with clean water. Press the wet fabric firmly onto a white cloth, a cotton bud or a piece of kitchen paper and keep rubbing for about thirty seconds. If any colour transfers to the white cloth, the fabric will stain your doll, and you should not put it on her. When the white cloth stays clean, the fabric is safe to use, without worry.

Moisture Is the Trigger
Moisture that's naturally present on the doll's skin is what activates the dye transfer, and water simulates it, which is why the test uses water. Less dye transfers from dry fabric on dry skin than from wet fabric on damp skin, so a water test gives you a worst-case scenario, exactly what you want. Fabric that gets through the water test is safe for ordinary use. Fail, and it will stain; there's no way around it.

No Excuse for Skipping It
Don't assume a brand you've used before is fine: repeat the test for every new piece of clothing. Because dye batches vary and manufacturing processes change, there's no guarantee that a fabric that was safe last year is safe this year. It takes two minutes, and the payoff is a doll that looks decent for years rather than one with permanent dark marks on her thighs. Nothing excuses skipping it, and it's the customers who learn this the hard way who end up purchasing replacement dolls.

Dark Colours, Cheap Dyes and Waxy Coatings
A somewhat waxy or coated feel, a dark colour or a cheap dye each makes a fabric more likely to fail the test. These four are the worst offenders: black, dark red, dark blue and dark purple, thanks to concentrated, oil-soluble dyes. Bright neon colours are a risk as well, thanks to the substantial quantities of pigment they use. Fabric that's been dyed cheaply is more likely to bleed than fabric that's been dyed properly, which is why pricey clothing is often safer than cheap clothing, even though the difference isn't guaranteed.

When in Doubt, Pre-Wash
You'll be safest with light colours, natural fibres and anything that's been pre-washed. With white, cream, beige and pale pastels you're practically invariably safe, because there's not enough pigment to cause noticeable staining. Holding dye more firmly than synthetics, as cotton, linen and other natural fibres tend to, makes them less likely to bleed. Pre-washed fabric has already released most of its excess dye, which means it's less likely to transfer onto the doll. Pre-wash any new clothing before putting it on the doll if you're in doubt.

A Saltwater Soak Overnight
Tests fail, but that's not the end: a few things can be tried before giving up on the fabric. Try several hot washes with a small amount of white vinegar; the idea is to help set the dye and reduce bleeding. Salt acts as a mordant that binds the dye to the fibres; that's why soaking the fabric in a saltwater solution overnight can also help. Try them if you really want to use a specific piece of clothing; just know they don't consistently work, and some fabrics will bleed no matter what you do.

A New Doll Costs Far More Than New Clothes
Should a fabric still fail after washing, the safest option is to leave it unused. A stain on a doll is permanent, while replacing a piece of clothing costs far less than a new doll.Still want it, because you're attached to the fabric? A few mitigation strategies can help. Choice one: a light-coloured fabric lining inside the clothing, which acts as a barrier keeping the dark dye away from the doll's skin. Failing that, limit the clothing to short durations and remove it immediately after use. These won't be foolproof, but they do lessen the risk.

Why Doll Clothing Costs More but Is More Reliable
If it's clothing for a doll you're after, choose a seller who comprehends dye migration and has tested their fabrics, as that's safest. Doll-specific clothing brands are usually aware of the issue and choose their fabrics accordingly, which is why their clothing is more expensive but also more reliable. Buying generic clothing from high street shops is a gamble, with the risk increasing the cheaper the clothing gets. Test any generic clothing you buy before use, without exception.

Passes in Winter, Fails in Summer
It's also worth knowing there's a seasonal factor. Dye migration is worse in warm weather, because heat accelerates the process. A fabric might pass the test in winter and fail it in summer; a warm room for storing the doll makes that particularly likely. Consider washing new clothing a number of times before use, and test it more thoroughly, if you're acquiring it in summer. The heat of a warm room will cause any residual dye to migrate faster too, so the same applies to storing a doll there.

The Stain Spreads and Deepens
Worth understanding is the stain itself, if it takes place. Ordinarily diffuse rather than sharp are dye migration stains, as the dye spreads through the material instead of sitting on the surface. You get a general darkening or discolouration across the zone. A clear outline of the fabric, you don't. Early on you may miss it, yet because the stain spreads and deepens it's more evident over time. When it's set, it's set: it can't be removed, so the only choices are to cover it with clothing or accept it as part of the doll's history.

Rub as Firmly as You Would on a Stain
A great testing method matters as much as the test itself. Do the full thirty seconds of rubbing; cutting it short means a slow bleed could slip through. Don't go simple. Rub firmly, stain-removal style, because the fabric will experience that kind of pressure against the doll's skin. Use a fresh section of the white cloth for each test, because a cloth that's already soiled from a previous test will give a false result. Fabric goes in wet, not dry, because it's water that activates the dye transfer.

Don't Trust the Light Areas
In a fabric with multiple colours, the darkest section is the one to test first. The dark sections are what will stain the doll, and a fabric might pass on the light sections but fail on the dark ones. Test each colour separately if you're not sure, and be especially careful with fabrics that have dark patterns on a light background, because the dark parts are the ones that bleed.

Contact Time and Staining Risk
There's the matter of how long a fabric needs to be in contact with the doll before it stains. Enormous variation is the honest answer, shaped by the fabric, the temperature and the pressure. Days or weeks are what others take, while some fabrics will stain within an hour. Fail the test and the fabric is out: the safest approach is to assume it will stain in the end. Cumulative and irreversible, the bleed means there's no safe exposure time for a fabric that bleeds.

Where Staining Is Most Common
Before purchase, dye migration is worth checking if you're acquiring a used doll. You're looking for dark patches on the thighs, back or buttocks, which are where staining is most usual. Permanent stains that impact the doll's appearance make a doll with noticeable dye stains worth less than one without. Cost the stains in. Covering them (with clothing or a new body) costs money, so factor that into the cost of a used doll with stains, and don't pay full price.

The Five Minutes That Could Cost You a Doll
The wet-white-cloth test is the habit that matters most among all the maintenance habits a doll owner can develop. No cost, two minutes, and the most typical cause of permanent damage is stopped. Get into the habit of testing every new piece of clothing, even when you're in a hurry. Those five minutes you save by skipping the test could cost you a doll. More info at this rosslink.
