small stain on dry clean only dress

Hi, i bought a new dress for an event tomorrow night but stupidly allowed a bit of my sandwich (bbq chicken) to fall into the bag on my way home. There is a small stain on the dress. The dress is white with red spots and the stain is on the white bit, towards the bottom near the side seam. - not very noticable but was wondering if i could dab it off with something? or is it best left alone? The dress is 75% cotton 25% silk ( don't have time to dry clean)
Thanks in advance

    theres something called spot clean or dry clean that you can buy from the supermarket. I will check the name properly when i get up to go to the kitchen (too lazy at mo!), its basically a liquid that you put on a cloth and then dab on the stain. Costs about £2-4, but is worth it, saved so much money not having to take our outfits to the dry cleaners over little marks/spillages.

    I always have a bottle of this stuff, its just great.

    will find the correct name and let you know.

    its called Spotless Dry Clean Liquid and can be found in many supermarkets near the laundry section, i normally buy from tesco.
