Stain in Wool Suit, Pic included?

Question

hey there, My boyfriend got a stain on his wool suit. Its Navy blue and it looks like possibly a cream suace stain, about the size of a quarter near the breast pocket.

He needs to wear it tonight (Of course haha) and i'm wondering if there is anything i can do at home to get it out? Spot remover? or I have a hand held steamer that says is fine for applostery (Used it on drapes before) or is DryCleaning our only option? I'm worried they wont be able to get it done fast enough.

Here is a pic of the stain. http://s266.photobucket.com/albums/ii270/nutmeg_pie/stain/?action=view¤t=P1040099.jpg

ANY help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks.

Answer 1

Summary: Stains in wool clothing or carpets can be removed by pre-conditioning and pressing. Many stains, including chocolate, beer, and ice cream, can be cleaned with a mixture of soft wool detergent and white vinegar in warm water. Gravy and fruit juice can be removed with lukewarm water. Burn marks can be removed with a solution of hydrogen peroxide and cold water. For oils and grease, use a cloth soaked in dry-cleaning solution on the stain. For anything else, take the garment to the dry cleaner immediately.

Answer 2

I would suggest you get a baby wet-wipe and rub it gently on the stain, rinse with a moistened cloth and then press with an iron on a low setting.
