Stop treating a curry stain when repeated cleaning attempts are no longer improving it, or when the fabric starts to show wear, thinning, fuzzing, or color loss. At that point, continued scrubbing, heat, or stronger products are more likely to damage the fibers than remove what remains of the stain.
