    What about Vanish? It's normally pretty good for a huge variety of stains.

    Soak in alcohol. Rub gently.

    If it is a "wipe clean" texture - hairspray! Spray and wipe, and repeat until it comes off. If not (as in, more fabric texture) - stain remover should work (should) or some vodka, and wipe gently. If that fails, bleach (preferably one designed for fabric). Milk will loosen the stain but not get rid of it, so maybe soaking it in milk and then trying the stain remover would work.

    Good luck!
