My stupid hubby slopped chinese curry all over the tablecloth last night. So I have got up this morning to find big yellow patches all over it (it is supposed to be pink and brown) Any ideas how I can shift the stains??

  • You can try a bit of neat bleach but TBH it doesn't usually take it all away. I have ruined many an oilskin tablecloth with turmeric, tomato puree and lily pollen.(though not all at once):o I bought them at first as they were wipe clean but found I was unable to wipe clean alot of stains so have reverted to a fabric cloth for meals and an oilskin for when the girls are baking or colouring. if it is one central stain, a strategically placed fruit bowl hides a multitude of sins. :D
