Its something I have never managed to get out - anyone have any ideas? Its only just happened when I tested a teaspoon of the curry in the SC!

Thanks

To remove a turmeric stain, first clean with methylated spirit and then place the object in sunlight.

Found that on a site a while ago and it worked well on a friends dress recently (was an expensive dress) well worth testing it on unseen area first. Turmeric is strong stuff and used to dye fabrics so it's a tricky one to get out.

i have dusters made from a black and white top that got tumeric on the white bit! loved the top, tried soaking, bicarb, vinegar-anything and then actually bought (shudder!) stain remover- but no joy, hence snazzy black'n'white dusters!
