If you spill curry stains on important paperwork or your favorite book, there’s not much you can do to remove it without damaging the paper. But here’s a method you can try:
Use a paper towel to blot up as much of the excess stain as possible.
Put the stained piece of paper between a few layers of paper towels, centering the stain in the middle.
Put a heavy book on top of the paper towel stack to press the papers together. The paper towels should start to absorb the stain.
After a few days, check out the stained paper. If the stain remains, move onto the next step.
Sprinkle baking soda over the stain, covering the entire area.
Leave it overnight.
Brush off the baking soda and check the stain.
If the stain remains and it’s necessary for you to remove it, we recommend contacting a professional paper restorer.
