Safe storage practices protect sensitive components from damage, misalignment, and contamination. Start with choosing a climate-controlled environment that minimizes extreme temperatures and humidity, which can degrade elastomeric skins and electronic seals. When disassembling for storage, follow systematic labeling to reconnect parts accurately, avoiding knotting cables or forcing connectors. Use protective covers or breathable sleeves to shield delicate surfaces from dust while preventing moisture accumulation. Store heavy components on stable, padded surfaces to reduce stress at joints and mounting points. For battery safety, ensure the power source is disconnected and that batteries are stored per manufacturer guidance, ideally in a fire-resistant container away from flammable materials. Avoid stacking heavy items on top of the doll to prevent deformities in the torso or facial features. Regular inspections during storage help detect signs of moisture intrusion, odor changes, or cracking. Proper cleaning prior to storage reduces microbial growth and extends material life. Documentation of storage conditions and maintenance history supports long-term reliability. Finally, plan for periodic reassembly checks to confirm alignment, connectivity, and safety before reintroducing the device to use.
