Help!!!! What takes Curry Sauce stain out of clothes!!

[SarahH]

My wonderful husband was out last night and came home with chips and curry sauce and he spilt some of the sauce on one of Arianna's dresses.

I have had the dress soaking all night with vanish, but it is still yellow tinged after washing it.

Any of you lovely ladies have any bright ideas on what to try before I kill my husband!!

i've got a brill dylon stain reomover i got from tescos i use (got a green lid its a wee bottle) that seems to take food stains out quite well, it took all the tomatoey stains out of my oven gloves anyway.

this is closest i could find, maybe you dont get the one i have anymore

i always use the pink oxy stuff and it works really well with eveything i have tried, u may need to let it soak a while and occasionaly irritate the material but fingers crossed

I consulted my How Clean is Your House book and it said this on curry stains:

"Some curry stains contain strong natural dyes, which are alomost impossible to shift. Dab with a stong solution of biological detergent before laundering. Soak stubborn stains with a solution of hydrogen peroxide bleach"

If I were you I'd try the boilogical washing powder and then re-wash in non-bio so it doesn't irritate her skin. I think the bleach would probably work but it would need to be a white dress otherwise it will take the dye out of it. Hope you get it sorted xx

or try hanging it in the sun for a few days.. what colour is the dress?

 

[SarahH]

the dress is a pink and white stripe tennis style dress.

I have washed it god knows how many times, with vanish, stuff I bought in the states that usually takes anything out - but no luck so far, still yellow tinge to it.
