Hi Graham
yepp, even tried to wash them with my clothes)-: but thanks for the tip(-:
I heard something about vinegar, that you can use against mold. Anyone know anything about that?

Try soaking them in bleach, I know it gets rid of bathroom mold but I couldn't tell you what it does to the color. :-?

I've washed all my smurfs with bleach and didn't affected the colors. :-D

You can always try with and old a very used smurf first, if you want to go the safe way first. :D

Hi! I don't think is a good idea to use bleach for pvc without extracting plasticizer from the figurine. I use something made special for PVC the name is Remove Zit stain remover for pvc it works good.I also got Formula 9-1-1 PVC Surface Cleaner,this one is to clean most soils from PVC it works good also.I bought them in a Doll show.But I think you can look in the Internet for them. Hope I can help you with the information.
