Curry stains can ruin your favorite outfit, especially...
Read MoreFew things can compare to enjoying a delicious curry until it ends up staining your shirt. And the striking yellow or orange blotches that are primarily caused by turmeric can be surprisingly stubborn to remove. If you’ve found yourself in a post-lunch frenzy searching how to get curry out of clothes, relax; you’re at the right place.
This guide will provide you with the exact steps on how to get curry out of clothes, whether the stains are fresh or set in and whether the fabric is delicate or sturdy.
Curry combines various types of spices and oils which, when blended, create a very stubborn stain. The key offenders are:
Turmeric: This bright yellow spice has an ability to bind to fabric fibers almost instantaneously.
Oil: Aiding in the deep penetration of turmeric into the cotton material.
Chili and tomato: Contributes with additional pigments along with acidity.
Together they create the perfect disaster recipe but with the right approach, you can easily remove curry stains.
