How to Remove Curry Stains

It’s no surprise how much we love curry. Curries are renowned for being packed full of flavour, often with ingredients such as chilli powder, turmeric, tomato and oil – however, sadly, it’s these vibrant spices that can leave a lasting stain on your favourite clothes. But, don’t despair! With Vanish, curry stains can be a long-forgotten issue, as the powerful multi-benefit formula can tackle tough stains, brighten colours and remove odours – even in a cold wash (20°C)!

For the best results, we recommend a three-step process to remove your curry-stained items: pre-treat or soak and wash as usual. For coloured clothes use Vanish Laundry Booster Powder and for your whites, use Vanish Crystal White Powder. With both formulas, you’ll get unparalleled deep hygiene action*, which gives your washing a deep clean in-wash.

With Vanish, curry stain removal has never been so easy, especially if you act fast when trying to remove the stain. If you’re dealing with coloured clothes, use Vanish Laundry Booster Powder to pre-treat the stain by following these steps:

People are often wary of stain removal on cotton as it can be a delicate fabric, but rest assured you can treat it with Vanish just as you would another item of clothing. Just follow the instructions above.

Scrape away – If it’s a fresh stain, scrape as much curry residue as possible off your garment before you start to treat it.

Check before you dry – Always check the stain has vanished before you put it in the dryer. This avoids setting the stain, which decreases your chances of fully removing that brightly coloured stain!
