Stain on oilcloth table cloth

Options
Hi,

Any ideas how to get tomato and curry stains out of oilcloth? I've tried stardrops, vinegar and lemon juice, stains have faded a bit but not much. I'm waiting for a sunny day so that I can hang it outside. Any other suggestions?

Thanks

    Only one thing I have found works on those stains, I bought it from the £1 shop, it's called 'Elbow Grease' http://www.151.co.uk/brands.php?brandid=16 I used the yellow one. Found it by accident when I spilt some on a bench that had a bad curry stain on for over a year, it almost completely vanished when I wiped it off.

    As with all products it's at your own risk and would recommend testing on a small unseen area and leaving for 24 hours before using it on a larger area.
    One day I might be more organised...........:confused:
