“This is a dry cleaner’s guide to removing curry, mustard and turmeric stains,” he told viewers. 

Once he took the sauce off, there was a yellow stain left behind, giving him the opportunity to demonstrate how to remove it. 

He shared: “To start, remove any physical bits and grab something to soak your garment in.

“Fill you basin with the hottest water you can and add about an eighth of a cup of powdered oxygen bleach, like Vanish or OxiClean.” 

Another alternative to this, is to buy the oxygen bleach powder from Wilko, which retails for just £2 for 825 grams of OXI Plus Stain Remover. 

Placing the cloth in the solution, he then picked it back up and informed viewers that the stain would, at this point, turn a dark orange or red colour. 

He explained that this is nothing to get worried about as it’s simply the high Ph reaction occurring from the exposure to the solution. 

“Let it sit for at least an hour, for best results soak it overnight,” he said. “Wash and inspect before drying.

“If the stain is still there, repeat the oxygen bleach process.” 

TikTok user @jeeves_ny added that if you’re not in the mood to use the same process over again, you could instead spray it down with 3 percent hydrogen peroxide and let it air dry. 

“For those still watching, you should know that there are four main stain groups: greasy, enzymatic, particulate, and oxidasable/bleachable.” 

In the caption, he added: “This is a dry cleaner’s guide to yellow curry, mustard, and turmeric stains! These can be tricky if handled wrong so I hope this lends a hand.” 

People were quick to share their thoughts on his nifty has as one person wrote: “Oh my god thank you so much!!!!”

Another commented: “I did this with a month old wine stain on a knit sweater and it was gone in 2 washes. Amazing.” 

While a third added: “You saved my clothes!!! This is just what I needed,” followed by a crying emoji.
