how to remove curry yellow stain

How to remove curry yellow stain on my carpet? That is the carpet in my car (97 BMW). I assume the carpet is some kind of polyester. I tried the regular soap & detergent. The yellow stain persists. Thank you for your advise.

It's there to stay.

Or, replace carpet.

Whew. That's a tough one. Carpet cleaning has evolved into a real science; so, consult a professional carpet cleaner, with an extractor and the right chemicals to "unlock" that stain.

Your local custodial supply house is likely to have the right solvent. Wait! BMW. Hmmmm. You probably don't live near a custodial supply house.

A really sharp auto detailer might possibly have the right stuff.

Pet isle of supermarket wil have spray bottles of enzyme cleaner for pet urine stains on carpet. This should work on virtually any organic stain.

Enzyme Cleaner? I google it and found:

Anything like that at Walmart or Target?

Yes, but simplify your life and go to a place like Pet Smart or Petco and just buy Nature's Miracle (the emblematic enzyme cleaner of choice) or Simple Solution.

A hot solution of OxiClean. Test colorfastness in an inconspicuous area first.

Are you using the word "curry" to describe the color, or did the stain really come from food containing curry?

I think the stain is of some kind of food. May not be curry. But the color is yellowish like curry. Any way to find out exactly what kind of stain? I think the stain was left there because of leakage from some kind of Chinese food to go package.

This may be difficult to arrange, but worth a try because for some food stains on fabrics and plastic cutting boards, it's worked for me: Sunlight. Any way you can park the car an open the door(s) at the appropriate time of day to arrange for some direct sunlight on the stain?

Good thinking. Cannot get sunlight at the passenger floor.

One time I had to remove my auto's carpeting to clean it. I was amazed with the ease of cleaning, plus eliminates the issue of thoroughly drying the vehicle carpeting. The downside is the time it takes to carefully remove and re-install the carpeting.

OK, Went to Pets Mart and got the "PetZyme" for $9. Its label: "Pet Stain & Odor Remover", "All Natural enzyme Formula", "Permanently removes stains and odors from wet pet messes" "Safe on carpets, fabrics and more"....

Anyway, tried that for 2 days. Stains still there, ouch....

I highly recommend Spot Shot. Blue spray can, orange cap, in the carpet cleaning products aisle at Wal Mart, Kmart, etc. In my experience, it's far surpassed every other kind of carpet cleaner I've ever tried. Usually, you can see the spot disappearing as you spray it.

It's tumeric.

It never comes out.

You should have listened to Mrs. Clean since all her friends are Indians and she is experienced in this type of food stain.

I could have saved you a lot of grief.
