Use stain remover u will find in any grocery. I'm using it. Put the stain remover on the haldi spot for around 10 mint or as per instruction & then wash it. All ur stain will disappear.

Dear Abha,

Soak your clothes in a dilute mixture of Salt and water. Take about 5 tbs of salt in about 1/2 bucket of water. Soak it for atleast two hours. The stains will go. Salt works for any stain wine, blood etc....


You can also try a weak solution of liquid chlorine bleach ( mix the chlorine bleach in water and soak )

Dear Abha,

Haldi stains are very tough to remove, try the above tips and may be you will get lucky. I had a very bad experience with haldi stains on a white silk sari, the wedding sari of my daughter's. Unfortunately, the stain was really big and persistent. I got the sari colored on one of my visits to India:(
