かなり古いシミなので、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。
かなりふるいしみなので、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 quite an old stain, it might be difficult to completely remove even with a specialized cleaning process.
Gesture & etiquette
Carefully point to the specific stain on the collar using your index finger without touching the fabric too harshly.
Do not rub or scratch the stain yourself while in the shop, as vintage silk and fabrics can be extremely fragile and easily damaged.
