a cat learns how to clean themselves from their mother. If the mother wasnt a very good mom or since it is a stray, the mom may not have been around, that could be why the kitten doesnt know how to properly clean itself...
You could take a damp wash rag and clean her that way. that way she will be forced to lick herself dry. Therefore, she will be cleaning herself in the process
Good Luck!!

Kittens learn from other cats, ever consider getting another. It is always best to have a playmate for your animal, and it is as easy to take care of one as two.

Sprinkle her with a little bit of water, she'll lick it off. After a few times hopefully she'll get used to doing it for herself regularly.

She must have lost her mother when she was a baby, that or she was taken away to early from her,
try and put peanut butter on her foot. she will lick it off, and maybe she will get the idea.

Do you have another cat to bond with her and clean her: she will learn from example.
