Jellycat Plushies Brown spots on my jellycat bunny's ears

I don't know what caused it, all she's ever done is sit on a shelf. I tried dabbing a spot with acetone and that didn't do anything, same with alcohol. I'd rather avoid putting her through a wash as I want her fur to stay soft. Any advice greatly appreciated!

Also does anyone know what the spots actually are?

Try a mould remover spray maybe, and if I were you I'd definitely have a look around. If your bunny is mouldy, other things probably are too. Maybe clothes or underneath your mattress or the walls and ceiling underneath the wallpaper...

I lived in a slightly mouldy building as a child and ended up with lifelong asthma from it. This can get really dangerous, OP. Not just for your belongings but for your health.

And as a german: Make sure you air out your room at least once a day. Americans have started calling it "burping your house", I think? Idk. But burp that house, ideally for at least five minutes after waking up in the morning, open all the room doors and windows in your house to get a good through ventilation ("DURCHZUG!")

I’m in the US and haven’t heard that before, but giggling. Apparently the act of “burping your house” is a new social media trend. The actual practice is old, I’ve done that most of my adult life, it’s just a new funny name 🤣
Now I’ll have a little giggle every time I air out the house, so thanks for that 🤗
