So, continue reading our article about how to get curry stain out of carpet to remove these unpleasant stains with ease. 

The key to removing curry stains on the carpet is to act quickly. The faster you treat the curry stain, the easier it will be to remove it. 

The next step is to scrape off any excess curry with a spoon or dull knife. After that, lightly apply cold water to the stain, followed by gently blotting it with a microfiber cloth or paper towel.

Remember to handle the stain with great care, avoiding any rubbing or pressing, as this could drive the stain deeper into the fabric.

Once you have removed as much excess curry as possible, follow the instructions below to eliminate the curry stains and their odor from carpets. 

Pre-Treat Spray (Carpet)

1. Spray Vanish Oxi Action Carpet & Upholstery Pre-Treat Spray directly onto the stained area and rub gently.

Stain Removal Shampoo (Carpet)
