かなり古いシミなので、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。
かなりふるいしみなので、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's quite an old stain, it might be difficult to remove completely, even with professional cleaning.
Gesture & etiquette
Point gently to the specific stained area on the kimono while holding it carefully.
Do not rub the stain with your wet finger or try to scratch it off, as it can damage the delicate antique silk fabric.
