I was excited to receive Tap Dancer in the mail today - she's been on my wish list for a while, and for some reason it seems she's listed on eBay less frequently than other Dance n Prance ponies. However, when I took her out of the package and smelled her (idk why I did, maybe because the yellow plastic of her knob and tail ring has weird discoloration?), she definitely has some kind of smell. I think it might even be cat pee, and I don't think it was mentioned in the listing.
I would normally pop her open to help me clean her out, but since she's a Dance n Prance I don't want to break anything, especially because her head is still glued on. I gave her an external scrubbing and conditioner, but the smell is still there under the soapy smell. Thankfully, it's not noticeable unless I bring her to my face to smell. But I still want it gone
I checked out this post about removing odors by MustBeJewel, and wanted to ask if anyone else has used one of these methods to get the smell off of a Dance n Prance. Her mechanism is already broken, but I don't want to cause mold inside her or something since I can't really open her up. With this in mind, would submerging her (in the 1:1 vinegar solution as per the restoration post) be a bad idea? The other option I saw on that post was the D-Stinker product, but I wanted to try vinegar first.
Until I can remove the smell she is unfortunately in Pony Jail (the box she came in) so that she doesn't possibly stink up the place.
Thank you pony friends!!
