Guest Posted August 30, 2015 I just bought the Senbonzakura outfit off of Mandarake for my Miku, and it's great. I was wondering if her gloves are likely to cause staining, though, as they're all black with no lining. Does anyone have any experience with leaving the gloves on for long periods of time? Any suggestions on how I can avoid staining without having to keep the gloves off? They're rather hard to put back on, so I'd rather not go through that strenuous process every time I want them on her. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
foo Posted August 30, 2015 YES. They didn't at first, but they definitely stain. I'm not sure what caused it to stain faster the last time I put them on, but it's hard to destain and I'm wary of using them again. I've washed them since using the typical method with a lingerie bag, I didn't wash them before. They look fine after washing, so I recommend it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Posted August 31, 2015 Thanks so much for the reply! Dang, it really sucks that her gloves stain. I just gave them a soak and am leaving them out to dry now. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Posted September 4, 2015 Strangely enough, the gloves managed to stain AFTER I had soaked them. Weird, huh? They stained my Miku's hands a dark orange color, which I find a bit strange, as her gloves are black. I'm using benzyl peroxide on them and leaving them under a lamp for the night.

K-2 Posted September 4, 2015 Strangely enough, the gloves managed to stain AFTER I had soaked them. Weird, huh? This isn't unusual. As long as there is color in the item there will be dye to migrate out. They stained my Miku's hands a dark orange color, which I find a bit strange, as her gloves are black. I'm using benzyl peroxide on them and leaving them under a lamp for the night. Again, not unusual. The orange component of the colorants used is migrating faster than the other parts. If you like using the gloves you might consider buying an extra set of hands and leave the gloves on the already stained hands. From the pictures I've seen it looks like there is a separate wrist band. This could be lined on the inside with a white cloth tape, like the first aid variety. This would provide a barrier and an early warning. When stains begin to appear on the tape it's time to change the tape. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
