Ofcorse your new love is gonna get dirty now and then depending how you treat it. For when they get dusty just take a clean make up brush and dust the PursePal all over. If there is any mess on there body or face just take a qu-tip or small piece of a damp napkin and wipe it away. Try to avoid staining its clothes, unless otherwise stated you will not be able to take their clothes off... well you can but it will be hard to put them back on. If there Hair gets dirty or tangled carfully brush it best you can and just dust it out.
No matter how careful you can be there might me an accident... falling on the floor or something rips. anything can happen. If anything breaks off, if possible reattach with hot or super glue, depending on the size. if you see a tear in thier clothes you can eaither spend the time try to sew it or you can use just hot glue to close the hole up easily. same if lace or ribbon falls off. If hair seems a bit drroppy just tighen the hair ties on it and try your best to re adjust it.
To prevent your PursePal from getting damaged or dirty just be careful with it. Dont let it be mishandled alot when placing it for display somewhere, make sure it is placed somewhere where it cant fall or that it is sitting firmly and wont be easy moved if there is a disterbance. Avoid eating near it. And also keep it away from the elements like sunlight and heat. And just use common sence and im sure you will enjoy your PursePal for a long long long time.
If you are wrapping it for a gift I strongly suggest a small shoe box. Pack it with bubble wrap or tissue paper or something to keep it snug. If you dont have that just wrap it loosely in bubble wrap or tissue. If you are storing it for travel or anything\I also suggest a small shoe box. If this is not possible try packing it with things alike it. be carful in wrapping it up too. This will help prevent damage to your PursePal.
Ofcorse I personally want you to enjoy your PursePal as much as you can, but remember they can be fragile. Use your brain... dont throw it around or shove it in your purse. just be careful when using it and you should be fine.
