If you still aren't able to remove the stains -you may want to consider contacting a company that restores vintage and/or designer fabrics. There is a place in New York called Madame Paulette that seems to be quite well known and does work for museums and designers. Not sure how well they do that since I have never used them. But have read of them over the years in New York Magazine. Probably expensive but then that will have to be weighed against how much the scarf means to you. Another place in NY that does specialty cleaning is Jeeves (of Belgravia) - they seem to be pretty popular with the "Madison Avenue Designers" - again probably very expensive but it is an option to explore. Those stains may just be something like perfume residue that oxidized over the years.. Just my 2 cents.

Angus great idea

I don’t know why I didn’t think of Madame Paulette’s… they recovered a jacket for me. Fantastic idea. I’m actually headed to NY Saturday. Perfect!
