Curry stain removal help?

If they're pure linen, wash and put them out in full sunshine.

However, there's a risk of shrinkage so use a cool/barely warm wash and gently pull them back into shape. Shinkage is still a risk though.

try stain devils use a lot as its not as strong as it used to be

If the curry had tumeric in it then you have had it. Tumeric can be used to dye clothes.

Vanish in the soap form is good. Leave it for an hour before washing.

The traditional solution is to carefully sponge with a solution of a tablespoon of borax dissolved in a pint of lukewarm water, do not allow to become too wet. If you use this route, test somewhere not too noticeable first, i.e. reverse side

Have you tried Dr Beckmans? curry stain remover. I bought it from Home Bargains - brill shop.

It worked on some grease stains but I never tried it on curry yet.

The main source of the colour is the turmeric. Bongedone is right that it is used as a clothes dye, but ... it isn't fast in sunlight. Therefore DFC is also right.

Repeated washings and exposure to sunlight should eventually do the trick.

Try coca cola it gets blood out of clothes so it might be worth a try

If it doesnt work, dye them?

A word about washing Linen never put it in a tumble dryer it comes out looking like rags

I would agree with hanging them in strong sunlight. This miraculously cured a tomato sauce stain on my cream t-shirt.

If not, dye them black. Linen takes dye very well - apart from the stitching.
