9. What does Millie try to use to remove a spot from Dorothy Parker's dress?

Before, Mrs Meers had pretended to be cleaning a spot, saying she was using soy sauce (though it was really chloroform). Millie thought this would be the thing to use to remove the spot, but alas it only made things worse (with comical results!).
