I have a vintage uneeda doll 30″. can anyone supply me with links on how to clean and repair her? ?
i am especially interested in how to change out her sleep eyes, or how to add lashes to eyes that lost the lashes, and would love to see photos of such.
Here you go Lily White. There are plenty of places to find out more about cleaning her!

There are several different and detailed categories of doll cleaning tips here: http://www.adollysworld.com/doll_cleaning_and_care_tips.html
from what I understand there were vinyl, hard plastic and cloth uneeda dolls so the various tips above should cover all the bases.
As far as the eyes go, re-setting the eyes and replacing the eyelashes can be a doozie. Doing this can also be very expensive, refrence this page, http://www.debrasdolls.com/restoration.html it can run from $70 to $400 after shipping!
