Eek!

I would ring a professional company to come and quote you for it.

The problem with pale leathers is that they are essentially painted or coated. The dye can rub off really easily.

Oh.

I think if the stain is turmeric based you are screwed.

I agree call a professional leather cleaning company - I think trying something yourself may well make it worse.

I would also suggest really shouting at the person who dropped the curry.

I have got a curry stain out of a cream leather boot with bright sunshine, worth a try?

MangoMonster · 05/11/2011 13:32

It was my dad while kindly babysitting for us. So shouting not an option ;). Oh well :(

Managed to remove most of it with indelible ink remover! Only very faint Mark left.

Thanks for your help Thanks

My DP used to have a cream leather sofa, and his young son scribbled all over it with black biro.

Nowt got it off.

Cream sofas are a baaaaad idea with children (and curry eating dads) around.

The indellible ink remover is pretty good with biro and now turmeric is seems!

Plus scrubbing with a tooth brush.

You could probably get the company who made it to come and paint that bit for a charge.

Worth emailing them. Turmerics a nightmare.

Milton Sterilising fluid is supposed to be very good indeed on curry stains

I know this is a very old thread but I was googling and THANK YOU! I just cleaned turmeric stains out of our cream leather sofa using a crushed up wet milton tablet. Saved my life!!Now no one will know...

Thanks so much for these suggestions. When DH dropped curry container on pale blue carpet, I thought I'd tried everything, nothing moved it, so am putting these suggestions in household book.

fairy liquid gets it out of cotton?

As mentioned in an earlier post, ese a Milton Sterilising Tablet (£1.35 at Boots) and mix with a little bit of water so that it is like a watery paste. Rub it into the leather and then leave and wipe off.

Got Tumeric/Curry stains off the cream leather seats of my BMW 525d.

Works perfectly.

Dad.
