Grape Juice on a woolen Tallis

At a kiddush, my husband was very fortunate to get a cup of grape juice down the back of his tallis. I gave it in to dryclean and the stain did not come out! Does anyone have any ideas of what could get this stain out of wool?

thanks

You might try soaking it, but what if the cleaners used heat on it when they pressed it? It might be a lost cause.

I agree that the cleaners might have ruined it, because often with grape juice you get it partially out but a permanent residue remains.
you can try this.
I don't know about grape juice, but my husband is a car mechanic and his woolen tzizis were black from the car grease. his grandfather told me to soak and hand wash them in a powder called Biz. I did it and it got them really clean!!
for a tallis if the stain is not over most of the tallis, then I would make a watery sullotion in a basin and dip a scrubby in then scrub at the spot. or you can splash some on the spot and then scrub. as I said it might not work,

WARNING WET WOOL SMELLS REALLY BAD!!, once it dries its fine.
