うーん、油シミのようですね。専門のクリーニングなら落ちるかもしれませんが、保証はできません。
うーん、あぶらしみのようですね。せんもんのくりーにんぐならおちるかもしれませんが、ほしょうはできません。
Hmm, it looks like an oil stain. Specialized cleaning might remove it, but we cannot guarantee it.
Gesture & etiquette
Point to the specific stain on the garment gently while showing it to the staff.
Do not demand a discount aggressively just because you found a stain on vintage items. Used items are generally sold 'as-is' in Japan.
