We sadly never owned a doll or torso and just some Fleshlights or Kiiroo products. But what’s probably the biggest difference is using drying sticks. Together with a fan that dries the inside a bit more beforehand, it seems like the most sufficient way. There’s a great review on the site: Pontus - Diatomite Dry Stick Review.

We’ve always been curious about the TPE vs silicone debate. TPE needs a lot more care. What we found is that using mild soaps or even toy cleaner works really well, although some say it destroys the material. Never had any issues, so we keep using it. Everything is better than having a yeast infection or stuff 
Two mistakes we see a lot - not cleaning and drying it right away. Second thing is not drying it properly before storing. We’ve seen many moldy toys in the last years on Reddit…

A bottle of foaming toy cleaner is your best friend. Follow the instructions! Some say to let soap sit for 30 seconds before rinsing. Cleaning immediately after use helps prevent things from drying and caking on. If your toy is insertable, using something to dry the inside is a good idea. Please don’t use molded toys </3

Honestly, cleaning a doll isn’t that hard. The bigger issues are usually the weight and the ongoing care afterward. Doll maintenance is really a long-term thing, not something you do once and forget about.
These days there are also plenty of tools that make cleaning easier. Coeros, for example, focuses on doll accessories, and their website has a lot of genuinely useful posts about cleaning and maintenance.
It also helps to follow some brands on YouTube. Ridmii has posted a few how-to videos if I remember right, including skin and hair cleaning. Irontech has shared videos on things like minor skin damage repair as well.
Overall, there’s no shortage of good resources. Some doll forums are helpful too. The newer FayeDollHouse community, for example, has a lot of practical, user-shared tips.
