This stuff is so fragile that water and/or dry cleaning could damage the fibers, which is why an expert should clean it (if even possible) for you.

As far as a stain, I would call a professional because any time I used a spot remover on anything it changed the color dramatically. Those old fabrics are not the same as today's fabrics. They are so old and delicate it may fall apart just looking at a solution!
