うーん、古い油染みなので、ちょっと難しいかもしれません。
うーん、ふるいあぶらじみなので、ちょっとむずかしいかもしれません。
Hmm, it's an old grease stain, so it might be a bit difficult.
Gesture & etiquette
Lightly hover your index finger near the stained area to show the staff without directly touching or rubbing the spot heavily.
Do not pull or stretch the antique fabric roughly while inspecting it. Avoid trying to scratch the stain off with your fingernails.
