    Lift Curry Stains From Washable Fabrics

    Mix a solution of hydrogen peroxide and water for color-fast items of clothing that cannot be bleached. If your hydrogen peroxide is 20 percent volume (which is standard strength), you'll need to combine the two in an approximate ratio of 1 part hydrogen peroxide to 9 parts water, or a 10 percent proportion of hydrogen peroxide.

    Soak the item in the hydrogen peroxide solution, letting it sit for at least a few hours.

    Rinse the item of clothing thoroughly in warm, clean water, then wash it as you normally would. Make sure you follow all of the care directions on the clothing label to the letter.

    Use a biodegradable laundry powder that contains bleach, if the item is bleachable. Simply wash the item in the bleach detergent in your washing machine as soon as possible after you've stained it.


    Get Curry Stains out of Non-Washables

    Take 1 tbsp. of borax. Stir it into approximately a half-liter of lukewarm water (roughly 1 pint). Be sure to measure carefully, as borax is a powerful cleaning agent that may leave a mark of its own if you don't dilute it properly.

    Use a sponge to apply the borax solution to the stain. This can be used on non-washable items of clothing as well as your carpet, if you've spilled some of your take-out curry on the floor.

    Try not to get the stain too wet. Let it dry, and repeat this process as needed until the stain lifts out. If the stain remains on your carpet, consider calling a professional carpet cleaner to come to your home and treat the stain with industrial-grade cleaning equipment.

    Hi ! You don't say what you need to get the stains off of ... but I found a carpet cleaner called Folex, I got it at home depot for about $6 . Works great gets rid of every kind of stain , ink , wine , coffee . One day blackberry juice got spilled on a cushion and since I had nothing to lose , I tried the carpet cleaner , it worked like magic ! Now I keep some in a small spray bottle in my laundry room for stains ! You need to check to see if what you are using it on is color fast , but if it's a bad stain and you wouldn't wear it anyway , you have nothing to lose ! Good luck !

    Folex is great! A realtor clued me onto it when we were selling our house. Just spray and the stain is gone.! Curry has Turmeric in it I believe. They use it to make a natural yellow dye, so It may not be possible to get it out. Maybe oxygen bleach or hydrogen peroxide will help.
