Finnish summers bring long days and higher humidity, which influence how you care for a doll. The extended daylight means more exposure to indoor light and potential color fading if a doll sits near bright windows. To protect the skin, keep the doll out of direct sunlight and use shaded spaces when possible. Ventilation helps; a small fan or air circulation can prevent warm, damp air from lingering around the doll, reducing the risk of mold or odor buildup in hidden folds.
Humidity control becomes more important in summer. If your home feels muggy, consider a dehumidifier or moisture-absorbing sachets in the storage area. Regular quick cleanings after outdoor sessions prevent sand, pollen, or damp skin from sticking to surfaces. Fresh outfits contribute to appearance and hygiene—quick breathable fabrics are ideal for hot days, while light makeup and hair styling keep maintenance simple.
Outdoor use, if any, should be planned with care: protect the doll from dust and insects, and rinse after exposure to outdoor elements. Always dry thoroughly before storage to prevent moisture buildup. By aligning care with Finland’s summer climate—shade, ventilation, and gentle cleaning—you can enjoy the season while keeping the doll in good condition for months to come.
