You can spray hairspray on it, let it sit for a minute and it should come right off.

Call and ask a drycleaner.

Answer 6

Try rubbing alcohol. put papertowel if possible on opposite side of material and dab stain with another papertowel from stain side, (do not rub it)  until you cant get anymore off,  then put a SMALL amount of laundry soap on it and let it sit overnight. Wipe with a damp rag to wipe the soap off.

It may take awhile but i know this works great on ink.

My husband exploded an inkpen in shirt pocket and It ALL came out.  good luck!

NOTE: *try rubbing alcohol in inconspicious spot first to make sure it wont fade the material*
