Dab with household ammonia. It will turn red and will wash out in a normal machine wash. Assumes that the tablecloth is one that can be washed.
Worked for me.

Really? I've never ever been able to remove turmeric
I will try that. Ammonia hard to find these days
Sunlight. Strong sun bleaches it in a few days.
Absent strong sun, try a UV lamp?
sook it off ....

"The staining capability of turmeric, particularly in the fresh state, may seem a nuisance to everybody who must clean cooking tools ? cutting boards are particularly hard to clean with brush and soap alone. The dye is, however, not light-proof and fades away after but one hour in direct sunlight."
Plenty about spices on that page. YHBW.

That is utter bollocks. Ive still got turmeric stains in the kitchen
