    Stardrops usually does the trick for me.:D
    I have plenty of willpower - it's won't power I need.
  • I use vanish spray and then leave soaking in cillit bang powder for a couple of hours. Wash normally and it should be gone!

    Hi deadlion,

    We have an older thread that might help so I've merged your thread with it to keep all the suggestions together.

    This other thread may help too:

    Just found out something by accident so thought I would share- Tumeric/Mustard Stains

    I found hanging stained clothes (after they've been washed) out on the line on a really sunny day gets the stain out. Mind, when are we going to have a good sunny day?

    Apply a little dab of fairy washing-up liquid onto it and rub in then bung in the wash, it comes up a treat and works with any stain

    I'm a messy eater - love curry - and I wear lots of white! I wash all my whites at 40oC with ordinary bio washing powder and handful of washing soda - works for me!

    Does anybody have any idea how i can remove a small curry stain from my white tee shirt?
    The spot is about 8mm across but is in a really prominent position on the front of the (white) tee shirt.
    I tried using Vanish, then washing the shirt but it hasnt made much difference.
    Can i just put bleach on the stain?

    Any ideas?

    If it helps, it was a Prawn Dupiaza!! (should have worn a bib!)
    I know nothing - really!!

    Bib would have helped :rotfl: . If you put the washing machine on with just the t-shirt and a small amount of bleach with the 1/4 or 1/2 the normal washing liquid/powder it should come out.
