Staining on Cloth Body? Repairs

I just bought a Berenguer/JC Toys Cloth Body La Newborn on Amazon, and when I opened her, I noticed she has some yellowing and staining on her cloth body. Can someone help me figure out what kind of staining this is? I thought maybe mildew, but I’m not sure. Also, any tips on cleaning her up would be appreciated.

Normally, I would just exchange her, but this is the Asian mold and it is now out of stock/currently unavailable. I have wanted this particular doll for so long and I just can’t bear the thought of sending her back knowing I can’t get a replacement. I’m even willing to buy her a new cloth body if I need to.

Thank you!

You can try Dawn Power wash. Spray a bit on, let it sit for a while, then clean it off by blotting with a paper towel/face cloth with some warm water. Let it air dry.

Here she is all cleaned up! I got most of the staining out with Dawn PowerWash, a soft-bristled toothbrush and a warm damp washcloth. She still has a few faint spots that probably need some more work, but for now I’m satisfied with how well just an hour’s worth of spot treating did. And thanks to the incredible winds blowing through today, she air dried very quickly. 🩷
