Could anyone please tell me how to remove curry stains from fabric,thank you.Carolynne

pretreat with vanish and use the vanish bar, if the fabric allows it (check the label and maybe try on a smaller area). i'd suspect it's grease as well as actual curry spice, so that should do the trick.

K & A recommend biological detergent and hydrogen peroxide. They say that some curry stains contain strong natural dyes which are almost impossible to shift. Dab with a strong solution of detergent before washing. Soak stubborn stains in a solution of hydrogen peroxide bleach.

Welcome to the forum, by the way!

Welcome - and did you manage to shift the curry stain?

Just been reading a New Scientist article about curry stains - turmeric is the hardest stain to shift, virtually impossible according to them, so hope you prove them wrong

Thank you everyone for the welcome and I will pass this info on to my son who is the one who spilt curry on his fabric setee when he jumped up as the phone rang.Carolynne

White toothpaste will remove curry stains, rub it in, let it dry then wash as usual

You can get a Stain Devil specially formulated for stains including curry, but I agree with FB, curry is one of the hardest stains to shift.

The moral might be to eat at the table, not on the settee!! (and use a plastic table cloth and a huge bib!!)

What is curry? I'm from the USA, and as far as I know, curry is a spice, and that's all. I've watched this and other shows on BBC America, and it seems like "curry" is a kind of broad word. Can anyone help set me straight?

Thanks,
Cathy
