If I spill spices like turmeric on anything at home, no matter what I do it isn’t coming out. Indian restaurants get whole dishes of the stuff spilled on white tablecloths and they quickly clean them up like new. How do they do it? Could you do the same as the restaurants do but with white clothes?

>How do they do it?
They change the table cloth.
Restaurants use a linen service and rent their tablecloths and linen napkins. They’re essentially a single use item for the restaurant.
At the end of the week, a company comes and delivers them clean napkins and tablecloths to use, and picks up the dirty ones.
The dirty ones are sorted then cleaned using special chemicals and machines that aren’t readily available to consumers. Most use either high heat or very caustic chemicals to essentially strip the linens clean, which are then laundered, pressed and folded before being sent to a different location.
Hi OP, I see you’ve gotten responses that tell you about the restaurant side of things so as someone who’s been in that situation a good few times – it’s just work and careful application of cleaning materials.
Soaking your clothes, using detergent or other mild cleaning products, and a lot of elbow grease tend to work for me. It’s a laborious task, but not impossible. Careful application of bleach if the situation is well and truly borked. Dry cleaners if bleach damage could be a problem and the stain just won’t come out. For the most part though, I just try to keep my white clothes in white clothes-friendly situations now.
