Dirt on Pants on Shabbat

Question

Hello, If during Shabbat tahini spills on one's pants, creating a pool of sauce, is it permissible to remove it, and if so, how?

Answer

Hello, 

It is permissible to remove the tahini that is on the surface of the garment, even with a sharp knife.

However, one should not rub the dirt that is absorbed into the fabric.
