How to get stain out of oilcloth?

I finally managed to persuade dh that we should get a tablecloth and that oilcloth would be best value as it would last forever.
We chose an oilcloth covering from dunelm mill and everyone was happy.

That was this morning. Then we had pasta bake for dinner.

Dh has gone out for the evening. How do I get this stain out before he sees and I never hear the end of it?

bit late now but Milton has always worked here without bleaching the design. Leave on for half an hour or so. Test for colour fastness first.

It had one that was stained with all sorts. I tried lemon juice then vanish then actual bleach. Nothing worked.

So I threw it on top of the Wendy house before I chucked it away and...the sun bleached the stains out!

I make up a paste of bleach & bicarb of soda. Gets everything out including curry stains. Sometimes you need to leave it for a few hours for it to completely go. This paste I s also great at bleaching grout etc.

Sunshine!
Mine is similar colour and turmeric / tomato based sauces do seem to stain it but sunshine always gets it out.
