Sorry to hear that. If it is hidden and not a big stain, you might want to try the apple conditioner (not cleaner). It worked on my sister's lambskin m/l flap. She spilled cappucino on it and it left a large stain. The next day the stain was gone when it was fully dry. Do not rub, apply gently and work the conditioner in. She was so brave. I wd have taken it for repair at Chanel.
I don't think it matters if you do it now or wait. I have only taken one of my bags to Chanel for cleaning and it was actually deemed beyond cleaning and they have my a credit towards a new bag. If you use your bag regularly then once a year might not be a bad idea.
update: used the lovin my bags stuff and it's all gone! i did the whole bag with 2 of the 3 potions 
it looks fantastic! (wasn't scary at all 
but it was black lamb... if a bright or light color i might have been a bit more nervous)

what product you used from loving my bags?update: used the lovin my bags stuff and it's all gone! i did the whole bag with 2 of the 3 potions
Thanks
I just bought my lambskin, but then I noticed a slight scraping of the leather, like the paint is scraped off, its not very noticeable but I'm afraid if I accidentally scratch that area, its going to get bigger and worse.....arghhhh. Does anyone else have this problem?
Spilled an entire bowl of lobster bisque on my beige lambskin M/L last night. Thank God I treated my bag with Apple conditioner and Apple Garde two weeks ago. The spill wiped off without a trace!!!! 
Anybody have instances of send light colored Chanel bag in for clean/refurbish/ spa and how it comes back? Do they also redye at all? Like if minor fading? Generally looking for+++experiences or really bad ones... Looking for somewhat of prognosis. Thanks!!
thanks!

lovinMYbags is located in the US, and it looks like lovingYOURbags is in Singapore. If you are in the US, I'd pick the second link of the two you posted.

I have done extensive searching using various terms and couldn't find the answer... apologize in advance if I missed it.
My question--is it me or do recent colorful (bright as in 10c bleu roi and red and light as in 09a pink) lamb bags have a different treatment than lambs prior? Like almost a painted coating and stiffness (and almost a dryness with that) without being glazed? And does this mean if it gets cleaned/redyed texture won't change as much as it might have otherwise? I am considering getting 09a pink lamb cleaned (and/or redyed if they think that's necessary) and I read about lamb becoming hard etc etc and frankly the lamb on this bag as with my bleu roi seems almost harder/painted than say one of the black lamb bags (not a flap however) that I have... and a 09p lamb bag I have as well. Basically, I am trying to decide to keep the bag, assuming it can be cleaned without too much of a change in texture? Basically I am thinking the bag almost seems stiffer already... Does anyone have examples of before/after cleaning/redye AT CHANEL that are ++++ (or I guess specific examples of the hardening that can happen and what exactly that meant)? Especially with regards to lighter colored bags? And with that does it seem to anyone else that the really new lambskin like I am talking about already has a stiffer, harder feel that might not suffer as much from a spa treatment? I hope this is making sense. I found bits and pieces sort of related in a few threads (I read a lot of "horror stories"--wondering if there are +++ Chanel-based service stories), many of the answers very old, and I am curious about the most recent colors in lamb because I have noticed a difference, so didn't know where this would go. And I hope I am making sense in the first place! Just trying to make a tough decision re: the fate of this 09a pink bag! Thanks for your input.
