Solving Omlet Smart Auto Door Timing Issues with Alexa Routines

Ok with hindsight it was not sensible to make curry sauce with every single spice that is coloured whilst wearing new white T shirt, but the inevitable happened. I got a 50p size spill right on the front.

 

I took it straight off and put it in soak in biological powder with soda crystals on it too. It's now bright PINK. Help any suggestions. It's still soaking. Thanks

Erm not sure why it would be bright pink! When I get stains, I put neat Fairy liquid on it and leave for a while before popping into a normal wash. That usually gets it out so hope it helps you

I know, very odd curry was very orange from turmeric. just looked again and it looks purple more than pink like a red wine stain and I honestly didn't have a glass in my hand. Hic

I think bleach might be the only thing that will shift it, it is just the sort of thing I do, I have ruined so many usually new tops in similar ways Good luck

Turmeric - which is one of the usual curry ingredient (and stains a very difficult to remove yellow) is actually unstable in UV light so you can remove it by hanging the garment outside on the washing line. This works best on a nice sunny day when I have seen stains disappear in a couple of hours - but even this time of year it will work. My dear hubby only really enjoys a curry if he can wear it too, so I was really pleased to discover this trick. Hope this helps.

My goodness Scary Mary I can't believe the wealth of information I've picked up on this forum I can't wait until someone spills curry sauce,come to think of it I usually get it on tea towels,esp when opening carry outs,out it will go on line.

Now I want a curry....

I was going to suggest hanging it out in the sunshine, but considering how little we've had recently, I didn't thinker it. would work

Sunshine naturally bleaches things, I always hang my clothes inside out on the line so they don't fade!

my fav stain removers are Vanish , ariel stain powder , salt and milk. they tend to deal with all my assortment of stains so long as the item of clothing hits cold water rather hot which always sets the stain.

That's interesting about sunlight having such a strong effect on turmeric. Now does anyone have a miracle solvent for tomato sauce? That stuff is stubborn! I've recently started using chlorine-free bleach rubbed into the spot which generally works for most fresh stains.

Neat washing up liquid works well on tomato stains, as for turmeric and curry stains, they are oil soluble so although it sounds odd, use a light coloured veg oil on the stain leave for a little while then use neat washing up liquid and wash with bio powder.
