So I got this girl, who brought me brand new skirt she bought, and got stained "without doing anything". Her statement was, that she just folded it over a coathanger and store it in the closet, when she wanted to take it off, it was stained like this.

 

Now my question: what are those stains and how am I supposed to remove them?

Material is faux leather (face-dirty: polyurethane, inside is polyester).

 

I tried: isopropanol, 70% alcohol, acetone. First two did nothing, while acetone made a huge mess (thank got I tried on a small piece at the edge).

wow .. Acetone I would think be a little hot for nylon/poly weave . ( me ) I would recommend what I have cleaned a lot of Nylon gear and Para Gear fabric for stain, using Naptha/ Zippo Lighter Fluid . I have even had good luck even removing Black Creosote off of Nylon rip-stop fabric with it .

You could be correct

Was the mark on the skirt when bought and not noticed? I know that has happened with other people I know. Even I have bought something and not noticed a fault with it untill later

Al speling misteaks aer all mi own werk..

Yeah, that's why I used acetone on swab and on small piece at the edge, so I wouldn't ruin it whole.
 

Never heard of Naptha, but I have some Zippo lighter fluid at home, resting. Deff. will try (swab test at first for sure). Also, a bit concerned of how to get rid of the odor smell?

Thought of it, but I think it's not. It was supposed to be resting against some trousers/jacket, no idea what exactly. I asked, but was told "some other clothes".

Asked aswell, she said no. And it's been too long already so she could return it to the store, so that's the reason I got involved into this.

' Zippo lighter ' .it a very High flash-rate, so it evaporates Super fast out of fabric, and I have never noticed it leaving any odor/smell afterwards . It a overlooked gem that cleans great, and not Hot that it remove any color or melts any synthetics/nylon or poly . Just spray some out of the can on a piece of fabric and leave it till Dry, and take a 'sniff ' .

Its very rare, but do you have any white dye?...or perhaps bleach ? or, try a little white leather paint?  Its a long shot,  Just sayin' :dunno: 

 I only have a very small amount of white dye  left, and very sparingly used.
