London is a city of incredible food and vibrant nightlife, but that often leads to unfortunate spills. Whether it's a splash of Malbec or a drop of vindaloo, knowing how to react can save your favorite linens.
Red Wine Stains
The golden rule: **Salt is your friend.** If you spill red wine at a Soho restaurant or during a home event, immediately cover the area with a thick layer of salt to draw out the moisture. Once dry, vacuum up the salt and rinse with cold water. For high-value garments, we recommend our professional dry cleaning service to ensure no residue remains.
Curry and Turmeric
Turmeric is one of the toughest dyes to remove, common in London's diverse culinary scene. Sunlight is actually an effective natural bleaching agent for turmeric. After a gentle wash with dish soap, letting the garment dry in direct sunlight can help fade the remaining yellow tint. If the stain persists on your chef whites or table linens, it's time for an industrial-grade treatment.
Stain Won't Budge?
Our commercial-grade facility uses specialized enzymes and oxygen-based bleaches that safely lift the toughest oils and pigments without damaging fibers.
