Once did some work for a food Technologist.
 
Her job was testing all stain removing treatments for manufacturers of foodstuffs, so that when customers rang complaining that they had a stain from their product they could tell them the most effective treatment.
 The most effective treatment for curry stains is
 
 
DIRECT SUNLIGHT. 
 
Not very good but better than anything else on the market.
 
Not very encouraging is it, Good Luck i think you'll need it.

As we are a bit short of sunlight at the moment I would use Solutions Eco spotter and extract out with cold water.

I hate this sort of stain as you can never be entirely sure of the result. I had a job a month or two back and managed to get a whole bottle of red wine out of a green carpet using eco, which to be honest impressed me. Other times it does leave a stain.

It does depend on what has been tried before, so many of my customers are using the supermarket stain removers at the moment its staggering. Its obvious they don't work and I am surprised they can continue to sell these miracle stain removers when they are so useless.

I agree with you. Iwish I had shares in Vanish and 1001!!

Both of them do more harm than good. The vanish spray seems to discolour wool carpets.

I think I'm right in saying they both have a bleach in them which seems to be the main problem. In the past I have used bleach on stains, but at least I can extract it straight out, our customers are soaking their carpets with this rubbish and then leaving it there for ever more! ( My girlfriend even bought some recently  because we have a new dog!!).

Gary,
put it in the bin.
( no not the dog, or your girlfriend )...........

In my experience any type of curry stain on a wool carpet is virtually impossible to remove totally due to Tumeric etc. You have a dye stain which even oxidising , reducing bleach or towel & iron methods will struggle with & no doubt would cause damage to wool.

If this can't remove the stain then nothing will.
