Curry stain on dry-clean only coat

5 replies

I have a beige trench coat which is dry-clean only, and today I spilled the tiniest drop of curry on a lapel (my own fault for eating with my coat on). We’re talking a tiny spot about, but unfortunately noticeable. My question is whether there is anything I can safely use to remove this tiny stain without having to get the whole otherwise spotless coat dry cleaned?

Leave it in sunshine- uv light sorts out a lot of stains, and works when I hang clothes in the conservatory, even though uv light doesn't pass through glass ( not a scientist!)

@NellNorth Sadly no sunshine here these days, but just adding an update on how I did get it removed, in case it helps anyone!
Dabbed a clean cloth in some washing up liquid/water and applied it to the spot stain, then sprayed some stain remover again just on the spot and left it for 10 mins before rinsing well under tap and leaving to dry! Stain gone!

Can I ask what spray stain remover you used please? I've just purchased a light colored rain coat and this will inevitably be me the first time I wear it 😁

@MorticiaAddamsIsMyStyleGuru It’s just the Tesco own brand oxy stain remover spray! It’s in a pink bottle x
