あちらは着用時に付いた小さなシミですが、クリーニングで落ちるかと思います。
あちらはちゃくようじについたちいさなしみですが、クリーニングでおちるかとおもいます。
That's a small stain from when it was worn, but I think it will come off with cleaning.
Gesture & etiquette
Gently point to the stain on the kimono while holding it up.
Avoid forcefully rubbing the fabric to examine stains, especially on delicate items like kimono. Ask politely.
