[12 / 2 / ?]
I got a rare Teddiursa plush I have wanted for a long time in the mail today, the first thing I noticed when I opened the box it came in was that it had a really odd smell to it.
I examined it further and saw it has little orange-ish brown spots all over the bottom lace
It still has a tag and the description says it was in "displayed only" condition so I am pretty sure it is not dirt. Even hugging it for too long made my nose act up.
This is a 20 year old toy and I really don't want to have to return it and hunt for another one, what is the best way to clean out the potential mold/mildew and not damage it? I am mostly worried about the washing machine hurting the details on it's face and I also I can't hang it out to dry to kill the mold since I don't have a backyard (I live in a city)
Thanks for any help.
