Start rubbing on a hidden area like the back of the dummy neck. Make sure that no damage is caused by the fabric.
If the fabric does not cause damage, keep the rubbing motion until all parts of the doll is clean. Take a cotton swab and then use it to clean small areas around the ears of pop, mouth and nose and between the doll fingers. Take note that a collectible porcelain pop that is really old can lead to cracking. You have a very small amount of water used on these dolls to prevent damage.
