この着物のシミは、クリーニングに出せば落ちそうなものですか？

Do you think this stain on the kimono will come out if I take it to a professional cleaner?

古いシミなので、専門のクリーニングでも完全に落とすのは難しいかもしれません。
ふるいしみのなので、せんもんのくりーにんぐでもかんぜんにおとすのはむずかしいかもしれません。
Since it is an old stain, it might be difficult to remove completely even at a professional specialty cleaner.
Gesture & etiquette
Gently point to the stained area with your index finger hovering slightly above the fabric without touching it roughly.
Do not scratch, rub, or wet the stain yourself, as doing so can permanently damage delicate vintage silk fibers.
