How to Get Turmeric Stains Out
Steps to Remove Turmeric Stains from Clothing
Act quickly: When it comes to removing turmeric stains, time is important. It's essential not to wait for too long after the incident occurred, or the stains will set in. Scrape out the extra stain with a spoon as soon as possible, then gently blot with cool water.
Soak: The next step is to fill your sink or bucket with cold water, then add some powder soap and soak the garment for 30 minutes.
Dose: To effectively remove turmeric stains, you must know how to correctly dose powder soap. First, read the dosing directions on the package, and then use the included scoop to measure out the appropriate amount. If you're using a top or front loader, add the detergent to the drawer first, followed by the garments.
Wash: Place your outfit in your washing machine with similar items and wash on the usual cycle at the warmest wash temperature recommended by your clothing's fabric care label.
Unload: When the cycle is over, unload your clothes quickly. If the stains are still visible, continue the instructions above until they are entirely removed.
Drying: If the curry stain has been fully removed and there is no cloud in the sky, hang the garment on a washing line or a drying rack in direct sunlight and allow it to air dry. Sun rays serve as a natural bleaching agent; therefore, they will help keep your white clothes white.
How to Get rid of Turmeric Stains from Dishes and Countertop
If washing your dishes via the dishwasher does not remove the stain, you'll need to go on to option B. To remove the turmeric stain, make a mixture of two parts hot water and one part bleach or lemon. Allow the dishes to soak in the solution for overnight. The stain should be gone in the morning. This suggestion is also applicable to glass, plastic, and ceramic meals, blenders, and food processor bowls.
If you discover a spill, clean it up right away! If you don't get to the curcumin quickly enough, it will leave a stain. Here's how to remove turmeric from most countertops:
Mix baking soda and water to form a thick paste.
Apply the solution to the stain and let it sit for 15-20 minutes.
Wipe the stained area with a neat, damp cloth using circular patterns.
Wipe the counter down with a wet cloth.
If baking soda doesn't work, try using lemon juice or vinegar. Again, make sure that such cleaners are safe for the countertop materials before using them. Finish by washing your countertops to reduce bacteria and other germs.
How to Get rid of Turmeric Stains from Kitchen Cabinets
Curcumin, which the stain-causing part in turmeric, may occasionally stain kitchen cabinets. Light-colored cabinets can be more difficult to clean than colored or darker cabinets, although baking soda usually removes yellow stains. Here's how to remove turmeric stains from painted or stained kitchen cabinets.
- Combine water and sufficient baking soda to make a thick paste.
- Apply the paste on the turmeric stain and let it sit for fifteen minutes.
- To remove the baking soda's residue and stain, wash the discolored area with dish soap and water.
- Wipe the cabinet with a wet towel.
If the baking soda paste fails to remove the stain, soak a magic eraser and gently rub the area. If the stains are older and more difficult to remove, try denatured alcohol to remove them. Whitening toothpaste can help remove difficult stains and is gentle enough to use on stained cabinetry.
How to Get rid of Turmeric Stains from Nails and Skin
Turmeric stains can appear in a variety of places, including cookware, cupboards, and carpet. When you cook with the spice, you may see stains on your skin or nails. Washing your hands properly will help, but often you need more weapons. Here's how to remove turmeric stains from your skin or nails with safe, mild ingredients:
- Use cleaning alcohol to get as much turmeric off the nails and hands as possible.
- Make a paste of lemon juice then baking soda and apply it to the stains on your skin. Wash your hands with water that is warm.
- To remove ongoing nail stains, soak your nails in a warm water and dish soap solution for up to 10 minutes.
All that alcohol, soap, and water should get rid of the turmeric on your hands, but they might also dry your skin. Apply moisturizer to your skin to preserve your hands and fingernails.
