A washing machine has been launched for the Indian market, with a special mode to tackle curry stains.
Panasonic said the introduction of a 'curry' button followed complaints from customers struggling to fully get the food off their clothes.
It says development took two years, testing combinations of water temperature and water flow.
The machine has five other cycles aimed at the Indian consumer, including one to remove traces of hair oil.

As part of the development, Panasonic researchers analysed what went into a typical Indian household's curry dish.
The firm said it then tried to establish the optimal time and water temperature required to remove

Only about 10% of homes in India have a washing machine, with most people still doing their laundry by hand.
That means there is plenty of room for market growth, and the electronics giant hopes the India-focussed machine will help it challenge the South Korean manufacturers dominating the sector.
Panasonic told the BBC that about 5,000 of the machines had been sold so far, with a target to sell at least 30,000 by March next year.

Priced at about 22,000 Indian rupees (£268;$330), the new model costs around 10% more than other washing machines.

Just pretreat it with stain remover and use a good oxygen based detergent. If it can get blood 100% out then why not a good curry?

All you need to know is no one was injured .... well .... nothing life threatening any way. :twisted:

Seriously .... you guys never got blood on hour pillow from a nose bleed during the night or blood on your towel from nicking your face while shaving?

Bioclassic has got a oxygen agent in it. I often just ad a scoop or two of oxygen stain remover powder in with every wash for good measure. Spar has a house brand one that is cheap and works well.
 
Had me worried there for a second considering you have my details.

I thought I was going to become a murder victim

Nah .... I have seen your body pic. Making you my victim is going to take some more planning. I am still looking for a chloroform supplier that wont raise eyebrows or raise a flag.
