The best thing to do for almost ALL nasty stains, if you are not
ABSOLUTELY SURE how to get them out, is to take them to a professional
cleaner.  Anything you try to do may be THE WRONG THING, and will
permanently set the stain.  In particular, for many stains, attempting
to wash them out with water may set the stain (this from sad personal
experience).
