What's the best way to clean my new kitten's dirty nose and whiskers?

Question

I brought a kitten home yesterday and she has dirt on her nose and whiskers area that won't come off with a wet towel. What do I do?? Pet's info: Cat | Asian | Female | unspayed | 1 month and 4 days old

You can try bathing the area with kitten shampoo, but be very careful not to get the shampoo near the eyes. This could be some staining of the fur which will eventually go away as the fur grows, and if it isn't bothering your kitten and the skin appears normal then I would not worry too much about the discoloration.
