Purchased one of these to give to my friend's dog, but it kinda came out of the store with these black hairs(?) and some muddy(?) parts. Didn't find anything on the internet on which products should I use and how do I clean one of these, so...

It’s for a dog, that likely puts far worse than a couple of black hairs in its mouth, I wouldn’t bother honestly.
Yup. The fuzz can ruin their teeth and could give them chances to choke on the thin hairs from build up.
There are far better balls out there to throw for them.
If this is specifically made for dog use then they presumably used a dog-tooth-friendly material for the fibrous cover.
It would be a bad idea to presume that,,because almost no dog toy company is ethical enough to care - and owners aware enough to be concerned wouldn't risk buying a tennis ball regardless.
