Hi everyone
hope you're having a lovely Christmas...
My dad has just last night spilt curry on the floor of his lovely light cream coloured carpet, they had curry, as we (the kids) were coming for Xmas dinner today.
Anyway because of the turmeric, it's left a disastrous orangey stain, it's gonna have to be an insurance claim, unless we can get it out.
I thought I'd ask you helpfull people, to see if you had any clues.
Hope to hear from you, kind regards
Alex

Curry
An extremely difficult stain. Large marks should be treated professionally. With small marks, scrape off the deposit and rub lightly with borax solution (15ml borax to 500ml water). Stubborn stains can sometimes be helped with a little neat glycerine rubbed into the carpet and left for about 10 minutes. Then sponge out with warm water and blot dry
