古いシミなので、専門の染み抜きじゃないと難しいかもしれません。
ふるいしみなので、せんもんのしみぬきじゃないとむずかしいかもしれません。
Since it's an old stain, it might be difficult to remove without professional stain-treatment.
Gesture & etiquette
Gently point to the stained spot with an open palm rather than a single finger to show respect for the item.
Do not pull or stretch the antique fabric roughly while inspecting it in front of the shop staff.
