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's an old stain, it might be difficult to remove completely, even with professional cleaning.
Gesture & etiquette
Gently point to the specific stain on the kimono without rubbing or scratching the fabric.
Do not try to scratch or rub the stain with your finger in front of the staff, as it can damage delicate vintage silk.
