古いシミなので、クリーニングでも完全には落ちないかもしれません。
ふるいしみなので、くりーにんぐでもかんぜんにはおちないかもしれません。
Since it's an old stain, it might not come off completely even with dry cleaning.
Gesture & etiquette
Gently point to the specific stained area with your index finger, keeping a safe distance from the fabric.
Do not rub or scratch the stained fabric roughly, as vintage silk can damage very easily.
