For a start.

I use coke to soak and wash the pigs stomach. Coke can get rid of the strong smell.

I just learned this cheap and easy solution. A damp washing up glove can easily be dragged over soft furnishings like sofas and curtains (and even trouser legs) to remove animal fur. Animal hair makes me sneeze and I have to find ways to get rid of them. hth

I went to Fairprice but couldn't find Clorox multi purpose cleaner. I bought Clorox cleaner + bleach. I hope it works the same.

I am sorry, the full name is All Purpose Cleaner with bleach.

Thank you Jennifer. I don't remember seeing that too. I will go to other Fairprice next time.

Jennifer, what material is your toilet floor? I want to bleach my toilet floor's grout but I wonder whether it will bleach the colour of the tile too.

Normal ceramic tile. I use a capful, diluted with water in a small pail. Never the original concentration. Every time I wash the toilet floor, I will mop it dry immediately. The grout is still original colour.

Thank you Jennifer.

ST,
:thankyou: :thankyou: :thankyou:

It often works if the stain is fresh. My daughter got laksa gravy on her school uniform shirt a few weeks ago, but didn't notice it. In fact, I was the one who noticed it while ironing, when it had already been through the washing machine and dried. Even bleach didn't shift it! Luckily it's just a small stain and got fainter with all the scrubbing, soaking and bleaching, so it isn't obvious. And she only has 3 more months to use the shirt.

The stain was from lunch. He changed into a company t-shirt, came back home around 9-10 pm?
He is lucky the Clorox all purpose cleaner with bleach managed to rid the stain.

Be careful with bleach on tiles. I used it on my bathroom tiles years ago, and it made strange faded patches on the tiles. It also took off the smooth surface and made the tiles a bit dry and rough. These were the tiles provided by HDB in 1999, but I don't know what they were made of. I've since renovated the bathrooms! Maybe you can try it on a small patch first, or a spare tile if you have one.

Bleaching agent helps?

You have prior experience?

Not curry specific, any stains I will just pour bleaching agent on that area and soak before scrubbing[/quote]Which brand of bleaching agent?

Soaked overnight in washing detergent, scrubbed a while 10 minutes ago, stains still visible.

What can we do to remove the stain completely?
